The hens have a 5 gallon water, a 1 gallon water, a misting system, a kiddie pool, and lots of shady spots. We're just not getting the usual 6-7 eggs anymore.
What could I do to make them lay more?
Are there any egg boosting foods that I could give them?
We give them Bar Ale Poultry feed, scraps everyday, and free range them for a few minutes a day.
We only eat the eggs that they give us but if we don't continue getting what we need, my parents will force me to butcher them.
Only 3 of the layers are 2 years old. The rest are just about a year old.
We also have a pullet who was supposed to start laying right about now but she hasn't started yet.
