Egg production is related to available light. If your hens are not laying well, try to boost the number of hours of light with a lamp in the chicken coop. It does not matter if the light is natural or artificial. A total of 14 hours per day is the minimum needed for optimum egg production.

How do you stop your chicken from brooding?

My parrots lay eggs all the time. To stop this natural behavior put a shoe box, or a box in there cage with the eggs in it. Put paper shredding in the box so the eggs will not be smashed. Let the bird sit on the eggs for about 4 weeks eventually they will become uninterested and ignore the eggs. At this point your bird will stop laying eggs :) Never take the eggs out of the cage because this makes your bird want to lay even more.
