I have a bag of FREE Turkey Start Right. I accidentally opened it thinking it was something else. First person who DMs me - it is yours.

🥚 Legendary Layer Tip: Consistency is Key!
Laying hens require balanced levels of energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and water to support egg production, maintain body condition, and produce strong eggshells. When you maintain a consistent feeding program for your flock, they are able to adapt to a stable ration and utilize nutrients more efficiently!

Got layer problems? Keep reading for tips + a special Layer Days surprise! 🥚

Your hens’ eggs can give you clues about their nutrition, environment and overall health. If you notice something unusual, start with a few simple checks:

1️⃣Review their nutrition. Make sure hens have continuous access to a complete layer feed, and avoid overdoing treats or scratch grains.

2️⃣Check feed and water access. Fresh, clean water is essential, and even short periods of dehydration can affect feed intake and egg production.

3️⃣Think about recent changes. Heat, shorter daylight hours, new flock members, predators or other sources of stress can all impact laying.

Some layer problems are perfectly normal, while others deserve a closer look. Our latest article breaks down common problems, what may be causing them and what you can do to help.

And because it’s Layer Days…there’s a special surprise waiting for you in the article! 👀🥚https://www.kalmbachfeeds.com/blogs/chickens/common-layer-problems-and-how-to-solve-them-a-guide-to-chicken-egg-problems-and-hen-health
