Hens Fed Well Pays In Summer
North Carolina poultry experts urge farmers to maintain balanced home grown rations for hens during June through September. Feeding mash supports egg production, while excessive range feeding with little mash lowers output. A typical hen consumes about 11 pounds grain and 14 pounds mash over summer, costing around 57 cents, with average egg production near 63 eggs in that period.

Proper care yields annual profit for laying flocks
The analysis shows 21 cents a dozen priced eggs would give $1.10 per dozen and a 53 cent margin per hen over four months. A 100 hen flock would net $53 above feed costs under average conditions, suggesting summer feeding of old hens is not a dead loss and proper flock care yields profit.
