feed the bird laying MASH and let them be free range to get the bugs and nutrients they need.
Different breeds lay at different rates. Some breeds lay daily while others take more time to produce an egg. Feeding high quality nutrients is good but don't be fooled into believing that a hen laying one egg per day will lay more than that if you buy a better quality feed or increase the rate of food consumption.
Keep your hens well fed on a balanced diet with plenty of fresh water and you will get the best rate of egg production they are capable of.
