If your poultry house is light thight, you can raise the hens at reduced length of daylight. This will postpone start of egg laying. You can find those schedules in the literature or on the internet.

@kan i am currently using 10-12 hours of light ...should it go below this

Probably as low as 7-8 hours. Check some old literature 70- 80 ths on it.

Thanks for this information sir @kan C.A.
