Why are my 9-month-old hens not laying?!

[chicken mama 0908]

You don’t need lights this time of year; let them have natural daylight cycle. I give my 12 first year hens layers pellets in free feeder and plenty of water and get an egg a day from each. You don’t need all that precision; maybe it’s stressing them out.

I turned off the lights a few days after I started this thread.
