What should i feed my chicken to improve their egg quality?
Laying eggs is a full-time job for our hens, so we need to provide them the nutrients they need to be most successful. The number one tool we can give them is a complete and balanced diet when they begin to lay eggs around 18 weeks of age. The diet should include: calcium for strong shells; amino acids, vitamins and minerals for enhanced egg quality and hen health; and probiotics and prebiotics to promote the hen’s digestive function.
On top of that, egg cracks can allow bacteria access to the interior of the egg. Microscopic cracks and large cracks can be a result of infrequent egg gathering.
Gather eggs 2-3 times per day. This helps prevent eggs from getting stepped on and thereby cracked or broken, which can lead to egg eatingI have recently adopted giving my chicken a treat of green vegetables. I have seen good results in their egg quality. The yolk is more orange than before.
