There are many factors that may hinder layer chickens from laying sufficient eggs, however, these can be easily corrected naturally. Furthermore, there are various reasons that cause chickens to produce less number of eggs some of these reasons include reproductive dysfunction and poor feeding. Other reasons include overfeeding chickens since this results in fat accumulation in the reproductive system.

Causes of low egg production

Failure to provide sufficient water to birds as well as abrupt changes in feeds lower egg production is it because this causes stress to birds hence less egg production. Additionally, also insufficient light as well as brooding also lower egg production. Furthermore, feather shedding causes mineral diversion for feather growth hence causing low egg production. 

Remedies
Always source feeds from reputable suppliers, and provide water to birds at all times to facilitate egg formation processes.  Additionally, also change feeds gradually to avoid stressing the birds and also provide compatible feeding supplements. Furthermore, provide light for 14-16 hours of light daily, isolate broody hens from the flock, and feed chicken extra proteins for faster egg growth hence controlling stress among layer birds.
