How to encourage egg laying

[Jo4dunx]

My hens are pretty hit and miss with laying . Some days we get four eggs some days none . The last few days we have had none . How can we encourage more eggs ?
I have seven rescue hens which are of eggs laying age.
I feed them layers pellets and they get oyster shells and grit also .
many thanks

Rescue hens as in given up or spent factory hens

Are they starting to molt? I think it is getting close to that time of year around here.

With them being rescue hens they are pretty pecked at and it’s hard to tell thanks

They may just produce less then. Theyre bred to produce as many as possible the first 3 years. After that, not so much
