How do you get more eggs from chickens?

Chickens can be very weird about laying eggs. Some breeds lay once a day, some once a week. You can try giving your chickens "laying mash" it's a high protein feed that comes in pellet and crumble form. I give it to my birds everyday and it really seems to help. Remember the weather has a huge role in they laying pattern. They seem to slow down when it is really cold or really hot.Provide artificial light to keep the birds under light 14 hours a day.
