How To Make My Hens Lay More? Any Wondeful Ideas?

Play some nice Classical music. Something calming like Paco Bell Canon. Stay away from Wagner "Ride of the Valcaries" or Barber"adojio"

 

I am a newbie, but from what I've read, chickens only lay for 2 - 2 1/2 years. After that they need to be culled an replaced...

At least that's what I've read, but I've yet to get my first egg... so I really know nothing!!

 

coooler weather they hate heat they do better in winter spring n fall

 

Go back to the old ways. Put a jalapeno in the waterer and feed them a mix of mashed english green peas. Should do the trick after about a week

 

gently apply firm squeezing pressure with your pointy finger and thumb to the hens head. Works every time.

 

Lots O Light 24/7

 

Ya'll so mean lol .Yea hen's aren't really productive forever but I had some bantam one's I raised as breeder's and pet's and kept them around for 5 year's.Egg production will decrease drasticaly especially after 3 year's.Heat is a big factor too.My Jersey's would lay good even cold winter month's with a slight break at time's.You might look to rehome them if they have been handled often as pet's for someone looking to just have a pet bird or 2.I try to handle my newbies and birds as much as possible to keep them tame.I doubt you will get too many more egg's daily so you need to decide what to do with them now.Im waiting on 3/4 of my new flock of layer's and bantams to lay WEEEE I got a couple Millie Fleur egg's last couple week's here.Baaaaaaa I got about 18 + duck hen's too should be laying soon.I just put some birds up for sale local.I dont have the Inc. capacity now to hatch any so....

 

Or you could try red chile flakes, the kind you put on pizza. Put it in their treats. Although I wouldn't do it if you have unusually high temps, it might cause problems.
