Chickens start laying eggs in about four months, and some well-developed layers can start laying eggs in about three months. The specific month when chicks start laying eggs depends on the feeding conditions. Usually laying hens can start laying eggs in about three months, and domestic chickens lay eggs relatively late, usually about four months.

It is best to choose bamboo gardens, orchards, tea gardens, mulberry gardens and other places with high and dry terrain, shelter from the wind and sun, quiet environment, convenient drinking, no pollution and no animal harm.

Matters needing attention in raising chickens

1, temperature: chicks are weak and have low heat preservation ability. During the breeding period, it is necessary to keep out the cold, adjust the temperature and humidity reasonably, and improve the survival rate of chicks. The most suitable temperature environment for chicks is 30-32 degrees, and the temperature can be reduced by 1-2 degrees every five days. After a month, when the outdoor temperature reaches more than 20 degrees, it can naturally warm up.

2. Feeding: Chickens are not limited by the number of meals, and should be allowed to eat freely. During the growth of chicks, the feeding frequency should be gradually reduced, and after 20 days, it can be fed four times a day. The feed should not be too wet and loose.

3. Lighting: During the feeding period, chicks should adjust appropriate lighting conditions to keep warm and maintain the normal growth and development of chicks.
