Egg laying question

[John Gusmano]

This is my first time raising chickens. I am just a small hobby farmer, I only have 2 hens, which provide me and my young family with our eggs. Lately is has been very hot and my hens have not been laying. Is this normal? Or is there something I can do to ensure they keep laying. Any help will be most appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!

Just guessing, John, that the heat is creating stress on your birds. Extremes of temperature either way disturbs the equlilibrium of most living things. See how it goes when the temp evens out somewhat. Post here on how things turn out! ;D I'm thinking that things will be picking up after a week or so.

Thank you for the advice! I really love this forum!!! I will definately keep you guys posted! I live in Michigan, where the weather is always funny, last Sunday it was 90 degrees; today it barely reached 70! Crazy! But I love this state, and wouldn't change anything! ;D

I agree, hat is prob. What happened .they should come back around when it cools down.
