Chickens aren't laying eggs well - Find out how to help! What to do if your chickens have stopped...
Hello, Sofia Peltsenke, and today I'm here with chickens and laying hens. Specifically, everything important about keeping laying hens, the common mistakes in keeping and breeding laying hens, how we organize egg collection and egg sales on our farm, and how to avoid making these mistakes. This video about laying hens will be useful for both novice and experienced poultry farmers. The conclusions I share in this video were drawn from my own experience.
As the title of this video suggests, I'm talking about laying hens. Specifically, I'm talking about how my hens' egg production has dropped significantly. This isn't surprising, because it's autumn, and all living things change their behavior. For example, my hens aren't laying eggs well; they used to lay well, but now they've almost completely stopped laying.
But don't despair; there are ways to help your hens and restore their egg production to a high level. Watch this video to the end, where I explain three main methods you can use if your hens aren't laying eggs well.
You all know that we've been keeping laying hens for years, and during that time, we've established a process for selling chicken eggs—that is, we have a ready-made business: breeding laying hens and selling chicken eggs.
Today, I'll show you our farm—we have various laying hens. Of course, the most interesting part is collecting the eggs, a daily activity that brings us joy. We also prepare the eggs for sale.
Just recently, I showed you a video about how green fodder positively affects the egg production of laying hens and what free feed I use for laying hens on our farm to ensure high egg production.
Many people ask me about feeding our hens, what feed to feed them to ensure optimal egg production, and they ask me to show them how we sell the eggs from our hens.
We currently have 170 different laying hens on our farm. We collect approximately 130-150 eggs daily and sell them directly from the farm.
Today is my day off, so I'll show you how the eggs are collected, then how I prepare the eggs for sale. I'll also show you what our egg sales stand looks like.
Selling chicken eggs has proven to be a very good start for the laying hens business.
Selling chicken eggs as a business is an interesting and exciting endeavor that generates income.
The fact is that keeping laying hens at home and their high egg production is far from a given.
Obviously, the chicken feed must be balanced, the chickens must be fed in portions, and they must never be overfed. And most importantly, proper run-in for the hens, or more precisely, the proper use of the run-in for your hens. We keep various breeds and hybrids of chickens on our farm. These primarily include Leghorn, Maran, and Sussex chickens, as well as Highsex hybrids and the commercial hybrid Loman Brown.
If you plan to breed or keep chickens specifically for eggs, one of the most important conditions for your hens is access to green pasture.
Green pasture is what stimulates egg production in laying hens during the summer. It is the movement of the hens on a sunny pasture that provides them with the vitamins they simply cannot absorb from dry feed alone.
Therefore, the best chicken feed, also known as free chicken feed, is rich, varied grass.
Thanks to our outdoor pasture, we significantly increase the egg production of our hens during the summer.
