Grain feed for laying hens emphasizes empty crops at roost time and full crops after a ten hour period. Morning feed should be scattered over the floor in a six inch layer, about one third of daily grain, with the rest given so it is cleaned up before roost. Dry mash should be available in hoppers at all times. Adjust by exercising birds or reducing scratch grain and meat scrap if hens get fat. Avoid abrupt ration changes and do not force moulting through feeding.

Agricultural Do's and Don'ts From Farm Tips Column
