Measures to make hens lay more eggs in autumn

In autumn, adult hens gradually stop molting, and hens that raise their chicks in spring begin to lay eggs one after another. However, the weather in autumn is unstable, and there is a large temperature difference between day and night, so chickens are more likely to have problems, thus affecting the laying efficiency of chickens. In this article, we introduce several ways for chicken farmers to make hens lay more eggs in autumn.

First of all, chicken farmers have to make a choice from the large flock of laying hens. Under normal circumstances, the breeding cycle of laying hens is within two years, and hens that have been laying for more than two years are inefficient and should be eliminated in time. In addition, those chickens with poor physique, chickens with few or no egg production, and hens that are sick and have no therapeutic value should also be selected and eliminated in time. Of course, chicken farmers can feed them more high-calorie feed before elimination, and then sell it after fattening. In this way, chicken farmers can save feed costs and earn part of their income by eliminating some low-laying chickens at the same time.

Second, the weather is cool in autumn, so the appetite of chickens will get better, and the amount of feed consumed every day is also increasing. In order to enable the chickens to quickly recover their strength and improve their energy, chicken farmers should feed the chickens with sufficient protein, minerals and vitamins, so as to ensure the lasting high yield of the hens.

Third, in autumn, due to the large temperature difference between day and night, we must do a good job of heat preservation to ensure good ventilation in the chicken house. In addition, in early autumn, there are more Rain Water and high air humidity, which can easily lead to diseases such as coccidia, colds, chicken plague and egg drop syndrome. Chicken farmers should do a good job of ventilation and adjust the temperature difference, so as to reduce the stress of chickens, reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases, and thus reduce the factors affecting the efficiency of hen laying.

Fourth, during the laying period, the stress of the hen is relatively large, so only by keeping the environment quiet enough can the hen lay eggs at ease. All activities of chicken farmers in the chicken coop should be based on the principle of reducing shock and noise and acting lightly. At the same time, strangers, cats and dogs should be refused to enter the chicken coop to disturb the chickens.

Fifth, chicken farmers should observe the mental state of laying hens, changes in food intake, body shape, feces and so on, and should be isolated and treated in time when abnormalities are found. In addition, chicken farmers should also do a good job in cleaning, cleaning and disinfecting chicken sheds, sports grounds, food troughs and sinks, so as to reduce the incidence of all kinds of chicken diseases and maintain the smoothness of hen laying.

These are five things that chicken farmers should do to laying hens in autumn. As long as we follow these five points, I believe that laying hen farmers will certainly be able to achieve a high yield and bumper harvest of eggs in autumn.
