Hi, I have seven chickens (1 Easter Egger,and 6 Black Australian chickens Can’t remember their breed). I have had them for over a year and when they started laying I was getting 4 to 6 a day. Now I am getting only one a day, if I’m lucky. I give them scratch and feed, but think I may be giving them too much scratch. Is that something they should get only weekly or twice a week?

Howdy and welcome! I usually give mine about a hand full of scratch with their food everyday no more then that
 
Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow

Most folks, myself included, feed an all-flock (higher protein) feed to all ages of chicks and chickens, and then supply oyster shell in a dish or feeder separate from the feed. All feed has calcium in it, but all-flock has less, thus the need to supply some separately. That way those that need more will eat it, and those that don't won't.

P.S. Mine aren't laying much either. Join the crowd. :)
