NO EGGS? Yes, its that time of year when the hens take a break. Some times it accompanied with an explosion of feathers all through the shed and yard. Be patient. They will start laying again. Some have a longer break than others. By September, they will all be laying regularly again.

Activate YOUR HOT WEATHER ACTION PLAN for all poultry today.
Extra water (in the shade), add ice to water (mostly ice which will melt), pop a sprinkler under a bush with a timer(keeping their feet cool will reduce their body temperatures), provide extra shade with a sheet, umbrella or tarpaulin.

For a hot shed in the evening, use the Ryobi Misting Fan that sits on top of a full bucket of water. It's battery operated, and lasts all night on the low setting.
