After entering autumn, older laying hens begin to stop laying eggs and change their feathers. It is necessary to replenish the henhouse in time to avoid the decrease of the laying rate of the flock. Adjust the flock in a planned way, strengthen the temperature and air quality of the chicken house, and improve the overall economic benefits of raising chickens.

1. Give proper lighting to the chicken coop

After autumn, the days get shorter and the nights get longer, so the natural light time shortens. Laying hens need light to stimulate the development of the reproductive system. Lack of light and a drop in temperature will also cause chickens to stop moulting. Proper replenishment of light to the henhouse can well delay the decline of the laying rate of the flock.

2. Adjust the flock of chickens to improve the overall economic benefit

As the weather gets colder, many old laying hens begin to change their feathers, and new laying hens begin to lay eggs, which requires managers to adjust the flock in a planned way. Timely elimination of those out of production, low production, thin and other worthless chickens, reduce feeding costs and improve the overall economic benefits.

3. Strengthen the temperature and air control of the chicken house.

At the beginning of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is gradually increasing, so it is necessary to adjust the temperature of the chicken house in time so that the daily temperature difference in the chicken house can not exceed 10 ℃. In autumn, the weather is dry and stuffy, so it is necessary to open windows every day to ensure the air quality of the chicken house and avoid causing respiratory diseases in the flock.
