The amount of food you should feed your chickens to encourage egg-laying depends on various factors, such as the age and breed of the chickens, their weight, and the quality of the feed. A good starting point is to provide a high-quality, nutritionally balanced commercial feed formulated specifically for laying hens and to follow the feeding instructions on the packaging.

As a general rule, a laying hen will require approximately 1/4 to 1/3 pound of feed per day, depending on its size and age. You may also want to provide your chickens with access to clean water and additional sources of calcium, such as crushed eggshells or oyster shells, to support healthy eggshell formation.

Why dont chickens lay as much eggs in wet weather?

Chickens may lay fewer eggs in wet weather due to the stress it can put on their bodies. Wet conditions can make chickens uncomfortable, leading to decreased egg production. Additionally, moisture can affect the quality of the eggs laid, making the chickens less inclined to lay as many.
