Thanks ok our chickens and hen are one yeard old but they do not put eggs
During this time but you have reason we only give corn for eat
We are in El Salvador Central America and. in my case we have around 2 hectareas, but i prepared a closed space to controller better and in this little space we have only 6 hen as an experiment, we only prepared corn we do not grown up barley seeds, here it is not posible i will try with sorgo that it is other grains.
Ok thanks for your response
I hope it would be better than industrial food that i try the last day with corn but i think maybe exist a plant natural that help our hen for give us a lot of eggs.
Thanks a lot.

You can definitely grow and feed grains to them. But they need protein very badly along with calcium supplemented - also be sure to provide grit if you can. If you can find something like this locally? Chicken forage seed, maybe! It also lists what seeds are in there, maybe you can find those!

In the winter time, is there a lot less light? Once there's less than 14 hours of light a day, they may start also laying less.

Thank you so much i find the list of food for trying to get eggs directly, of our hen, do you say the hen sleep early, in our case it sleep around from 6pm to 6 am of the next day. I try to do more light
Thank for the information i appreciate for be better cuality of life to be producer our own food.
Take care best regard.
