How to Keep Egg Production High

Just because you have a breed who can lay lots of eggs, doesn’t mean they will lay lots of eggs.
Many things can affect how many eggs a chicken lays. Their diet, age and access to daylight are all important.

Age

It’s a sad fact of life that older chickens just don’t lay as many eggs as younger chickens.
A chicken’s first year of laying eggs is always their best.

You can see in the graph, once a chicken hits the age of three the amount of eggs they lay really slows down.
If your chicken laid 250 eggs in their first year, then by the third year it will only lay 160 eggs.
There is nothing you can do to stop this; it’s just nature’s way.

Diet

Chickens need around 20 grams of protein every day for them to keep laying eggs. If their diet isn’t providing them with this protein then they won’t be able to lay many eggs.
To ensure your chickens are getting plenty of protein make sure you are feeding them layers pellets.
Layers pellets have been manufactured to contain all the key minerals, nutrients and minerals that hens require.

Daylight

In addition to a good diet, chickens need at least 14 hours of daylight to lay eggs.
If they don’t get this amount of daylight their egg laying will be limited.
To ensure they get this amount of daylight make sure you are letting them out as close to the sun rise as possible- even if it means those early morning starts!
During the winter there won’t be 14 hours of daylight and many chicken farmers will use artificial lighting to keep their chickens laying eggs. I would never do this because chickens need this downtime during the winter for their body to recover.
If you are forcing your chickens to lay by using artificial lighting it means their bodies don’t recover and your hen’s health will progressively get worse.
