i am by no stretch of the amagination an expert, but we have good luck letting our hens out 2-3 hrs a day as well. that way they can get every thing they need thats not in the layer crumbles. we also have a great pyrenees that we raised with em that would die before anything { accept a hawk } bothered them. if they have everything they need and are happy they should lay their harts out for ya. them fresh eggs are sure alot better than anything you can buy. some people say to give em oyster shells for calcium , if they spend time outside they probably dont need it but it never could hurt. when they git ready , theyll lay.
