When do green-shell hens lay eggs?

Green-shell laying hens generally begin to lay eggs for about half a year, and the specific time of laying eggs is related to their breeds and late feeding methods. The laying rate of green-shell laying hens can be improved by adjusting the light time and light distribution, keeping the henhouse quiet, or adding some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients.

Green-shell laying hens need to be raised for half a year from hatching to laying. Too early or too late will affect egg production. The laying time and egg production of green shell laying hens are closely related to the breed and quality of laying hens, as well as the breeding technology in the later stage.

Green-shell laying hens are very sensitive to light stimulation. They need 14 hours of light in the early days of laying, and the peak period is about 16 hours. The lighting time should be punctual, can not be changed at will, and the distribution should be uniform. The light intensity per square meter should be set to 3 watts, which can not only reduce the feeding time to enter the peak laying period, but also effectively improve the laying rate.

During laying, green-shell laying hens are extremely sensitive to other sounds in the henhouse, and a little noise may cause stress reactions in laying hens, thus reducing or delaying egg production. Therefore, in the laying time of green-shell laying hens every day, it is best to keep the henhouse quiet and let them concentrate on laying eggs.

Sometimes the climate is particularly cold or hot, as well as the large temperature difference between day and night, which will affect the egg production of green-shell layers. Some traditional Chinese medicine ingredients can be added to feed to enhance the physique and anti-stress ability of green-shell laying hens and fundamentally increase egg production.
