Contented birds yield early egg production tips
Unworked pullets will start laying early and maintain production. New pullets from the range are excitable until adjusted to their surroundings. Approach pens quietly with a whistle, soft call, or door knock to warn birds and may gain several extra eggs daily.
Ability to Lay in Poultry Breeding and Feeding
The ability to lay is inherited and depends more on breeding than feeding. If pullets mature too fast do not feed them only grain to slow laying, as it may stunt growth. Provide a mash with scratch grain for a balanced protein mineral and vitamin intake.
Laying Onset in Pullets and Egg Size
When pullets begin to lay the first eggs are small and grow as ovaries and oviducts develop. With proper feeding the eggs reach full size in six to eight weeks, otherwise delays occur and eggs may never reach marketable size.
