Specialist Urges Lighting of Hen Laying House
Reid Merrill assistant extension poultryman at the University of Idaho urges poultrymen to light the laying house in the early morning to boost production. He says 13 hours of light, with lights on at four or five a.m., prompts hens to leave the roost and eat, supporting steadier egg output even if lights stay on later. Automatic switches can help those who dislike early rising.
