How to get chickens from roosting

First of all, ensure the optimal temperature in the room for poultry. Maintain zero temperature, but not increase it above 25 degrees, as in a hot room chickens lose their appetite, which directly affects egg production. The same applies to the summer period. If there are hot days, you get far less eggs than when the temperature is below 25 degrees. In hot weather chickens can lay eggs with very thin shells or no shell.

Equip the coop good ventilation system. This will allow you to maintain the temperature regime at the right level and not to increase the humidity. In a very damp room egg production also drops sharply, the highest level of humidity should not exceed 60%.

Systematically, regardless of the time of year, renew in the henhouse daylight artificial lighting. The day chickens should begin in 5 hours and end in 23 hours. If this condition does not comply, then the eggs will be stable enough.

For high egg production chickens feed 4 times daily high-quality grain feed with added cake, chalk and mineral and vitamin mixtures. Additionally place a trough with sand, wood ash, shell, quartz or granite grit. Without these additives the chickens will be laying and immediately rasklinivat eggs. We often observe the situation when one of the hensand rushes, and all the population is waiting and rushes vying to bite demolished the egg. It occurs from insufficient amounts of additives or in their complete absence.

If you have a hens egg direction stopped laying after 10 months of intensive egg production, then that's fine. In three weeks will be a period of rest. Have chicken meat during this period is once every 7-8 months. The total period of egg laying chickens is no more than 2.5-3 years, after which the number should change.
