Did you know that sunlight hours influence how many eggs your hens lay?
Hens need between 14 to 16 hours of daylight to achieve optimum laying, so as our days are getting longer, you might be seeing more eggs.
They need plenty of good quality food to keep up to their laying though, especially protein and calcium, or egg quality can decrease, and laying may be impacted.
An average laying hen needs to eat 100g of quality feed every day, and that feed needs to include at least 15g of protein and 4g calcium.
