Guide
A hen lays at most one egg per day, and most average 4–6 eggs per week. Per year: 150–350 depending on breed.
Daylight (hens need ~14 hours of light for peak laying), nutrition, age, molt, stress and temperature.
Shorter days are the main reason. Supplemental light (a simple timer) can keep production steady.
Most hens lay best in years 1–2, then production declines gradually.
