Poultry
How much per day should I feed a laying hen? Typically 150 – 175g per bird, per day. In adverse weather conditions, add 10 – 15% more to provide extra energy for maintenance. Do I need to feed Grit? Free range birds should pick up enough grit naturally, however, supplementary grit may be of benefit to aid the break down of food to improve digestion. Should I feed Oyster Shell? Oyster Shell is an excellent source of Calcium, essential in aiding the formation of strong eggshells and is of particular benefit when feeding Poultry Corn. Why do my hens stop laying eggs in the autumn? Egg production is influenced by day length and as daylight hours diminish in the autumn, so egg production tails off. Artificial lighting to maintain standard day length will help maintain egg production. |
