A hen will lay eggs with or without a roosters presence. Without the rooster the eggs will be non viable or unfertilized. To assist in egg production you should feed the hens extra protein and minerals for healthy eggs. This is much easier done by purchasing a produce called Layer pellets or laying "mash". All feed and grain outlets can provide this for you on demand.
Yes. Most grain/feed stores have special layer complete feed that gives the new pullet the extra calcium and protein needed for good egg production. Hens raised for egg production should be started on this feed about one month before expected egg production. This means they can be switched from chick grower, over to layer mash or pellets at about 12 to 16 weeks of age.

Several factors effect the laying of eggs. Light is an important part of egg production and a hen needs a minimum of 14 hours of natural or artificially produced daylight to trigger egg laying. Chickens require a good balanced diet to properly produce eggs, most commercial feed retailers have a form of Layer feed with the correct amounts of fat, protein and calcium. Fresh water is also an important factor.
