My chickens that are almost 11 mos old are still laying. I have 9 hens and still get between 4-6 eggs a day. I don't have a light in their coop but there is an outdoor light on our house that really doesn't shed any light into their coop. They get organic layer feed, kale or some sort if greens most days( mine crave the greens above all else except watermelon :-). They get ACV and garlic in their drinking water most days, ground corn on cold nights and assorted bird seed a couple times a week w. Ground up egg shells( their own). Table scraps and fridge clean out. Mind you not too much of anyy one thing just variety. I live in the suburbs ofNYC so the only range for about two hours atthe end of the day on our or our neighbors:-) property! So far so good although I did lose a hen 2 weeks ago apparently of natural causes. She just keeled over and died. Happy New Year to you all!
