Plus you have to take into account the light. As the days shorten they will lay less often. Provide 14 to 16 hours of light for hens to lay regularly. A 100-watt bulb for every 400 square feet of floor space is adequate. That said we don't do that but I know plenty of people who do.

We give our ladies chili powder in with their grain or crumbles when they start to slack off. Try it, and I bet :snoopy: Chili powder.

Today, he went to Taiwan, I believe it was. They had a WHITE silky banty chicken - very pretty, but the skin is black and the meat dark. When cooked they said it was deliscious, in a sweet cinnamon sauce. THEN, they ate ROOSTER testicles soup - white testicles and then black ones. They didn't seem AS crazy over those = they said it was like biting into a buttery jello, with a thin skin membrane. I'll take thier word for it, because I would not try that.

Or maybe bring in a ringer that already is laying eggs, so that they know what they're missing. :hungry: Time to read chicken cookbooks to those hens that haven’t gotten on the job yet.
