Less day light hours due to winter coming on. It's natural. Many EE's aren't the best of layers. Some of the better ones lay one egg every other day at their best. So this time of year that sounds about right. Age will also slow down their production. If your girls are over 2 their production could also be slowing down naturally.
You can supplement with unnatural light to bring up their production, but please be careful with any lighting or other electrical devises in your coop. We don't want you to have a fire while trying to bring up production.
Best of luck

My chicken have dropped from laying 12 eggs aday to 3 also my easter eggers only lay once every three days. I live in S.E. Texas why would the chickens stop laying and is this nornal for EEers?
Thanks
