When do chickens restart laying eggs at winter?
Chickens don't necessarily restart laying eggs at winter. Here's why:
* Light is key: Chickens lay eggs based on the amount of daylight they receive. As days get shorter in the winter, they produce fewer eggs.
* No specific restart: There's no set date or period when chickens suddenly start laying again.
* It depends: When chickens start laying again depends on:
* Breed: Some breeds are more prone to laying in winter.
* Age: Younger hens tend to lay more consistently.
* Nutrition: A good diet can help maintain egg production.
* Temperature: Cold temperatures can affect egg production.
To encourage egg laying in winter, you can:
* Provide supplemental light: Use artificial light to increase the amount of daylight they receive.
* Maintain good nutrition: Ensure they have a balanced diet with plenty of protein and calcium.
* Keep them warm: Provide a cozy coop with bedding to insulate them from the cold.
By taking these steps, you can encourage your hens to lay eggs throughout the winter months.
