Okay thank you so much! I’m raising 3 more chicks to be with them.DON'T try to ask your chickens to lay 12 months of the year! They need a break. If you create situations where they continue laying all year you may cause them health problems and you will shorten their lives. See the articles on this. You wouldn't want to be pregnant continuously! Give them lots of protein, mealy worms, black oil sunflower seeds, crushed peanuts, to help their new feathers grow and they will start laying again in the Spring. Good that you are bringing in some new ones, as two chucks alone are quite lonely. They are hugely sociable animals and 6 birds is the minimum I would keep.
