The best time of day to feed chickens.

The best time to feed chickens is 2-3 hours after sunrise; 2-3 hours before sunset

Chickens have two foraging peaks a day, one is 2-3 hours after sunrise; 2. 2-3 hours before sunset, when the feeding rate is high. Chickens fed with yellow corn have a yellow body and a higher quality than white chickens.

Laying hens are required to be fed twice a day, with high protein, high energy and low calcium in the morning and low protein, low energy and high calcium in the evening, which can adjust the laying cycle, improve egg production and save feed.

Generally, the first beak is broken at the age of 7 weeks to 10, and the second beak is broken at the age of 10 to 12. The upper and lower beaks are cut off at 1/2 and 1/3, respectively, to ensure that chickens can't peck out of the trough and avoid pecking each other.

Precautions for raising chickens:

The main factor of low egg production in summer is summer heat, so there must be measures and equipment for heatstroke prevention and cooling. Among them, it is most effective to properly cut feathers for chickens. The practice is to cut off the feathers of chicken breast, drumstick and left and right wings, and keep the feathers of neck, back and tail. You can't cut it all when you cut it. You should cut it more in hot weather and summer.

Chicken farmers should pay attention to feed hygiene, air hygiene and drinking water hygiene. Some chicken farms are constantly suffering from diseases all the year round, often caused by polluted water sources. In addition, reducing stress as much as possible is the basis of ensuring high yield of chickens.
