never tried cayenne pepper. use layer feed now. mine are 6 months old and started laying about five weeks ago. I think its different with each chicken because only in the last week have my easter eggers started. 8 hens, about 3-5 eggs a day. though 7 today, 8 yesterday. I assume the count is going to go up and down. I didn't put any lights or heat in my coop. in fact I left the door open all winter, they slept right in the doorway even when it was 10 degrees. they didn't like it when the door was closed.
