What else can I help you with?
Should you feed Hens Laying food before they start laying eggs?
Yes. Most grain/feed stores have special layer complete feed that gives the new pullet the extra calcium and protein needed for good egg production. Hens raised for egg production should be started on this feed about one month before expected egg production. This means they can be switched from chick grower, over to layer mash or pellets at about 12 to 16 weeks of age.
Resting a hen for a second laying production is called a what?
Resting a hen for a second laying production is called a molt. Chickens do not produce eggs when they are growing their new feathers.
Can you transport a washing machine laying down?

What is the average egg laying span of a hen?
Most pullets will begin laying eggs at about 16 to 24 weeks. Egg production peak before age 2 and drop from there. Most hens will stop production at around age 3 with only the occasional egg offered after that. There have been reports of hens laying well past 5 years old but these are exceptions rather than normal.
When do production red chickens start laying eggs?

At what age does a hen stop laying eggs?
Egg production varies with the breed of chicken. In general, chicks start their egg laying at about 5 to 6 months old and reach peak production at about two years. Egg laying starts to decline at about three years. As the chicken ages, egg production is less reliable until they stop completely. Non productive chickens can live up to as old as 12 years.

How long between egg laying for parakeets?

What are the specific characters of individuals that may be culled during the growing stage?
Sick and deformed chicks are often culled if the farmer or hatchery can see no way to save the chick. A deformed chick would not usually survive in a flock as chickens always do their own culling. The weak birds are targeted by the healthy, stronger birds. Roosters are also culled at hatcheries if their intent is to produce just laying hens. More and more hatcheries are now separating the males to be sold off as meat birds rather than culling as was the practice years ago.
How long should you wait after plastering internal walls before laying wooden floors or hanging doors?
Normally the interior doors are hung before the plaster goes up. Doors attach directly to studs in the walls, so they usually go up before the plaster. With wood floors, they are normally the last thing to be laid - even after the painting.
How old before khaki campbells stop laying?

Will 2 Roosters with 4 Laying Hens slow egg production?
They shouldn't effect the process of laying eggs. It's always up to the hens attitude for that day.
