๐Access to clean water:
They need clean, fresh water every day to support their bodily needs. I know, you see them drinking from muddy puddles and ditches but they really should have clean water. That murky water you see them drinking may contain parasites and bacteria that can make them sick.
If hens become dehydrated, they will not lay eggs, and it will take them a few days to start laying again. Water on drinkers should be poured off every 4 hours, and drinkers should be cleaned whenever they're refilled
๐Reducing Stress
Chickens can get stressed by small and inconsequential things such as a change of feed, loud noises, a squirrel in the run, and other trivial things that we would not even think about.
It is your job to try and keep the stress down to a minimum if you want your chickens to lay eggs. Vaccination, change of housing, delay in feeding time, hours without water etc all stress the birds. Be kind and give Anti stress vitamins like AMINOVIT-BEST after the stressful activity
๐Calcium
A hen that lacks calcium will lay soft-shelled or shell-less eggs. Soft-shell eggs look like regular eggs, but when you pick them up, they are not hard. They are quite malleable in the hand. A shell-less egg looks exactly like it sounds, there may be a thin membrane holding everything inside, but there is no solid shell. Of late, this is a major issue due to poor calcium / lime Quality available on the market. Always buy quality lime from reliable sources like JOSCA FARMERS WORLD
๐Enough Space
Chickens do not like to be crammed together. They like having enough space to flap their wings!
Inside the House, each square metre should house not more than 7 birds.
Just remember that crowding them can lead to health and behavioral issues.
They may start pecking and feather plucking, egg eating, and a host of other anti-social behaviors. The weaker birds get trampled on, too, and can suffer from injuries.
By giving them enough space you are providing for their mental and emotional well-being. A happy and content chicken is going to be healthier and more productive than a hen who is unhappy and depressed.
๐Internal and external Parasites
Bugs are not only irritating but they can be very bad for your hensโ health.
Mites, in particular, will suck your hensโ blood overnight. Deal with mites using ULTRAVIN dust direct on the birds and cypermethein sprayed in the empty houses to kill mites that are on walls and crevices.
