Hello
It sounds like your browns have a bit of a calcium shortage due to a big moult. They sacrifice laying to make feathers, Australorps aren't as vulnerable, I guess. Keep giving the girls lots of greens rich in calcium. Also calcium supplement. Do you use laying pellets? They contain extra calcium. My Australorps were great layers most of the year. Sometimes henhouse politics can cause laying strikes! Every time mine got slack a new arrival would spur them on - if that didn't,t work the sight of the axe usually did the job. They eventually figure out it,s an empty threat :-)
