How to Increase Egg Production in Chickens.

Whether you have been raising chickens for a while or are just getting started, low egg production is likely something you’ll deal with at one point or another.

Typically, you can expect a chicken to lay about one egg per 26 hours during its egg-laying years — usually around 18 months long. As chickens age, this rate will naturally decrease.

What Causes Low Egg Production?
It takes the right conditions — and a lot of energy — for your chickens to lay eggs. Many factors can affect their rate of egg production, including:

1. Age — either too young or too old.
2. Breed.
3. Molting.
4. Not having enough feed — or feed that’s lacking nutritional value.
5. Not having enough daylight hours.

How to Get Your Chickens to Lay More Eggs

If you are interested in increasing egg production in your hens, you can change a few different things in their environment.

Add Light
On average, chickens need around 14 hours of sunlight to lay an egg. So, as daylight decreases during the fall and winter months, your chickens will begin to produce fewer eggs. To get more eggs from your chickens, you can add a lightbulb in their coop to recreate the required hours of sunlight they need. Be sure to keep your light on a timer, though, so your chickens don’t get any more than 16 hours of “sunlight” per day.

Create a Clean, Safe Environment
Your chickens need a clean, safe coop and nesting area to lay their eggs. If they are stressed due to predators or unfavorable weather conditions, their egg production rate will decrease. Minimize any threats and keep their coop warm — you want to ensure it stays around 40-90 degrees Fahrenheit. If you need to, you can always add a heat lamp for extra warmth. Also, make sure your chickens have a soft surface to nest in.

Feed Them a Balanced Diet
It’s important to supply your chickens with the right feed, so they have the nutrition they need to grow, stay healthy and lay eggs. During the fall and winter, your chickens will benefit from having some extra protein. It’s important to feed chickens enough nutrients, specifically calcium, so they lay eggs.

Along with ensuring your chickens have a balanced diet, it’s important to give them access to fresh, clean water at all times

ORIGINAL BAGUETTE BREAD 😋
Ingredients:
500 g of common wheat flour
330 ml of water
5 g dry baker's yeast or 15 g fresh yeast
10g of salt
Preparation:
1. Start by mixing the water with the yeast in a bowl. I recommend that the water be lukewarm, so the yeast will dissolve sooner and better.
2. Once this is done, mix the flour with the salt and add it to the water. You must knead it well for a few minutes. To know when it is is when the dough is smooth and does not stick to the hands easily. At first something may stick to you but you'll see how later it won't.
3. After the first kneading you must cover the dough with film and put it in the fridge for an hour. During this time the dough will rest and will be ready to work with.
4. After resting, cut four equal balls and form the elongated bars. Put them on a baking tray separated from each other and make two superficial cuts in each one. Before baking let them ferment for about 30 minutes or so.
5. When they have grown they will have the definitive baguette shape. If they are too fat, stretch the dough more with a little flour.
6. Finally, put them in the preheated oven at 180ºC for 15 minutes and you will have them ready.
A piece of advice is that before putting them in, spray a little water on top so that it does not make the crust so quickly and you get that bakery result. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can also wet your fingertips and gently brush them over the bread before baking.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE STARTING A POULTRY FARM:

1. Housing system:
This is a very important factor you need to put into consideration, no matter the number of birds you are keeping the housing can make or destroy your success in poultry farming.
If you have successfully worked on the housing system more than 40% of problems have been solved.I have met some farmers who have poorly constructed houses.Some poultry diseases are as a result of poor housing.Ensure that you source for the services of a good poultry house mason.Note that housing is the second most expensive of the poultry venture after feeds.

2. Feed and feeding:
You need to map out a feasibility studies on poultry farming before you kick-start anything this will go a long way to help you achieve your goals and succeed,feeds and feeding carries larger part of the expenses in a poultry farm and adequate plan towards feeding
can help make the journey easier.You can choose either to produce your own feeds yourself or buy various stages feeds from feed mills.Proper feeding makes the birds grow well and to a larger extend their health is secured.Making your own feeds can cut the cost of production by 50%.New farmers should not make their own feeds until they break -even.Remember feed making increases the cost of raw materials as you will have to buy machineries like feed grinder/hammer mill and feed mixer which are very expensive.Farmers with over 500 birds can make their own feeds as this will prove economical.

3. Record keeping:
this is another very important factor in poultry system management.A proper record keeping can foster your poultry business development, record keeping will help you determine your success and failures,flaws and where amendment is needed, keep a proper record for your poultry farm in order to increase your production level always.Some farmers don't even know how many birds they have or the mortality level in their flock.I have been to some farms where a farmer requests me to count the birds for him/her during vaccination or debeaking because of poor records.

4. Changes and differences:
You need to be sensitive to changes and differences in your poultry farm,
which includes the growth, feeding, their droppings, the laying capacities, number of birds, sound amongst others.
This will help you as a farmer to be sensitive to changes in the system.For instances: when layers are about to start laying,they makes a lot of noise, feeding rate and body weight increases, and sometimes when there is disease outbreak you can quickly take note of this happenings by their droppings,if it changes from what it use to be when they are healthy then something is wrong, you can call on your vet doctor for inspection.Be sensitive to regular changes in your poultry farm always.

5. Types of birds:
This is another important factor you should consider in a poultry farming business what are the types of birds you want to raise? Chicken? (Layers or Broilers as applicable to other birds) Turkey? Goose? Duck?You should source for quality chicks from breeders.First generation chicks f1 are the best.Only source chicks from reputable breeders.
6. Areas of concentration:

This is a very important factor to consider in a poultry farming business. Do you want to keep them for:Egg production,meat production,breeding (hatching of
eggs into chicks),feed processing and production,packaging of poultry products,
marketing and lots more?

7.Capital
capital is one of the major factor that determine what happens and what goes on in the system. Capital is the fund (total amount of money you are investing into a business)the main reason why poultry needs enough fund is that you can't be managing poultry birds you have to provide the best for them in order for you to get the required products at the end of your production.

8. Poultry Equipments and facilities: It is very important to get adequate equipment ready and set before starting a poultry farm so that you don't get stocked on the way.Some of the necessary equipments includes:
-Feeders,
-Drinkers,
-Egg trays
-Heat source,
-Waste disposal,
-Incubator,
-Culling cage/ Sick bay (for keeping sick birds),
-Clean water,
-Feeds,
and so on.

9. Poultry location:
Should be in a place the smell can not affect people living around them and disposal of waste is easy, actually you can run a poultry farm at home as well in your backyard but in a situation where you are considering thousands of birds, try and locate the house in an environment with less population of people and settlement so that you can run your business without any interference and disturbance.

When all the above factors are looked into then farmers in Kenya and Africa at large will be successful at farming.We will no longer take poultry farming as a hobby but as a serious venture just as real estate and other serious business. All I can say is that I wish you well in your farming ventures.
