Genetics and age
Perhaps the biggest factor in determining the average size of an egg is genetics. To obtain the larger eggs, farmers must choose specific breeds of breeders supplied by a reserve hen supplier that are capable of producing the larger eggs. As the day grows older, the hen's reproductive system will naturally change. One of the effects is that the size of the eggs produced will become larger. When the chicken grows52When you are old, you can see the largest size of eggs.
Lighting
If the hen lays eggs later, it will lay bigger eggs throughout its life. A major factor in delaying maturation is the amount of light the chicks are exposed to each day.
The chicks in the coop were initially there every day.20Hours of light, after a period of time the light time will be reduced10hour. If the decrease in light time is slow, and then slowly increases after reaching the egg laying farm, the size of the egg will increase with the age of the chicken. If the hens lay larger eggs, the number of eggs will decrease.;Because the weight of a hen's eggs is usually constant throughout her life.
quality of back-up hen
The way in which the backup hens are managed during the hatching and growth phases influences their performance during the laying period. In a good feeding environment, healthy back-up hens are the basis for a successful egg laying period. After16The results of Zhou's careful care show that if the egg size and production goals are to be met, the backup hen must have a healthy immune system and physiological system.
Feed
HumphreyThe company believes that judging the best feed nutrition is the key to optimizing hen production performance. A series of subtle nutritional changes can increase the average egg size, but these changes require accurate judgment by poultry experts based on experience. Producers should note that any change is“One-way”Accurate judgment must be made when the impact is seen in a few weeks. Digestive infections and overall gut health can also affect how much a chicken eats and can affect egg size.
Temperature and time of year
In the cold season, hens need more energy to warm and maintain their bodies, and they will eat more feed to meet their greater energy needs. However, if the type of feed is not adjusted, too many other nutrients will be consumed, which will affect the size of the egg. On the contrary, in the hot season, hens eat less, so they need to get higher levels of nutrients from the feed to make up for and maintain the size of the eggs. Therefore, it is important to keep the chicken house as cool as possible during the summer.
