Most important are feeding quality food, a safe place for them to lay the eggs, and collecting eggs daily. If allowed to sit on eggs, the hen will stop laying.

A chicken which is grown for eggs should be given excess protein and vitamin content and it should be vaccinated periodically to prevent it from any disease.

Decide what breed of chicken you want. Build a coop for them. Feed them good healthy food for high quality eggs. Start collecting after a few days!

It is a good idea to have a secure location to keep the chickens at night (a tight coop to keep out predators), as well as wholesome feed available.

They need to be inside with a special light as chicks. When they grow, you don't have to do anything special, they'll lay eggs when ready.
