Ever wondered why your hens aren't laying as many eggs even with all the extra daylight during the summer? Today on Chickens Every Day, we promise to uncover the surprising impact of summer heat on your flock’s egg production. Join me, Gary Vallery of CENLA Backyard Chickens, as I discuss how rising temperatures can make chickens lethargic and less hungry, disrupting their nutrition intake and ultimately affecting their laying capacity.
To help you combat this, I quote some expert advice from Jeff Maddox, a leading poultry nutritionist, and Baylor Landston, a livestock nutrition consultant. We explore the crucial role of boosting protein content in your hens' diet and choosing high-quality feed with fewer byproducts. Plus, meet Barney, (a Buff Orpington) who adds a touch of charm to our conversation! Tune in to learn actionable tips to keep your chickens healthy and productive through the hottest months of the year.
