What is the likely outcome for eggs laid too late in the season?

Eggs laid too late in the season could cause a change in the adaptation have the need to adapt to new environmental factors.

Environment, stress, health issues, they didn’t stop you have a predator who’s eating the eggs, they didn’t they are laying the eggs elsewhere and you haven’t found the new nest, diet, molting.

Pretty much sums up all the reasons I’ve run into.

Under environment, there can be numerous reasons, mostly it’s related to time of year. Excessive heat or cold or lack of light. It’s winter here, my hens aren’t laying right now and I don’t expect them to start again until late January or February at the earliest. Thankfully I know how to freeze eggs so I won’t run out of my personal stash (I have some years)Stress also factors strongly in there, stress out a hen and she quits laying for a bit. If you can confirm it’s not their rest season then I’d look at possible sources of stress.Health is a bit tricky and not particularly common, a sick hen will hide being sick but hens are remarkably strong birds and don’t get sick often. When a hen is sick they usually will hide it so you need to observe your flock carefully for signs of disease.Have an awesome day/night✨❤️

Explanation:

Mitochondria produce atp, a high energy compound. atp is used for all sorts of enzyme-mediated reactions, such as making proteins/nucleotides/etc, certain compounds cross the cell membrane, muscles move, etc.  without this source of energy, a cell will die. it will not be able to repair itself, defend against pathogens, etc.
