I have 16 Pharaoh hens who were putting out 14-16 eggs a day up until about 3 days ago; production has fallen to 5-8 a day. Am I missing something?  Temp has dropped about 10 degrees to 60 degrees the last few days...... Day light is fading, but I figure we still have 13 hours here in central Texas.... Any suggestions?

  3-4 hours of artificial light.

  The sudden drop may have been originally caused by the temperature drop, but more likely Pressure drop from the hurricane.
