FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT HINTS
Feed Hi-Lay Blend ad lib from point of lay along with clean, cool fresh water.
FRESH HOUSEHOLD SCRAPS AND GRASS
Hens will enjoy eating fresh household scraps, grass and lawn clippings but it may be necessary to restrict access to these in order to prevent nutritional imbalances. Access to green grass which contains natural colouring pigments will enhance egg yolk colour and produce a rich and attractive yolk.
MOULTING AND DAY LENGTH
Laying hens have a natural response to the day length which affects the number of eggs laid. During autumn and early winter when the days are getting shorter, hens will tend to lay less eggs or may stop laying altogether and go into a moult. A moult is a naturally occurring cycle that all hens go through a number of times during their life. During a moult a hen will stop laying, shed a large amount of its old feathers and replace them with new feathers. When the moult has finished the hen will normally start a new cycle of lay and this is why egg production is normally greater during spring. This natural cycle can be altered by creating a constant day length. By lighting the hen house to create a constant "day length" (approximately 16 hours) it is possible to prevent hens from decreasing their production during autumn and winter. A simple household timer can be used to turn the lights on and off automatically.
