Can a hen lay eggs every day without eating layer pellets?

Yes, a hen can lay eggs without eating layer pellets, but its egg production may be affected. Layer pellets are specifically formulated to provide the essential nutrients, such as calcium and protein, that hens need for optimal egg production. If hens do not receive a balanced diet, they may still lay eggs, but the quality and frequency of egg-laying could decline, and they may face health issues over time. Providing a varied diet that meets their nutritional needs is important for their overall well-being and egg-laying capacity.
