Mature Laying Hens - 1000 Available Highlights

• Egg Production: Laying hens are bred for high egg production, typically starting to lay around 5-6 months of age. They can lay consistently for 1-2 years, with peak production usually in the first year.
• Feed Requirements: Chickens require a balanced diet of layer feed, which is formulated to provide the necessary protein, calcium, and other nutrients for egg formation. Access to fresh water is crucial.
• Housing and Space: Adequate coop space is essential for the health and well-being of laying hens. Overcrowding can lead to stress, disease, and reduced egg production. They need roosting bars and nesting boxes.
• Molting Cycle: Chickens naturally go through a molting cycle once a year, typically in the fall. During this period, they lose and regrow their feathers, and egg production will temporarily cease or significantly decrease.
• Broodiness: Some breeds of laying hens can become broody, meaning they will sit on eggs to hatch them. This behavior stops them from laying new eggs until the broodiness subsides or the chicks are raised.
