light needed to lay an egg

[ken facemire]

How much light is needed a day for a chicken to produce an egg. My chickens have slowed down and i believe it is because of the days being shorter.

My light comes on at 5 and goes off at 8pm

yes.....---->14, although I have read many people have the light come on at 4am, and go off at 7am...whatever you prefer.
I am opting for no light...still getting 9 eggs a day from 11 girls.
