Hen nesting is a prerequisite for hens to lay eggs. Only by allowing hens to nest quickly can the chicken farm produce eggs more efficiently. So how to do it?

The first thing to do is to choose the right chicken coop. Hens need a safe, warm, and quiet environment when they want to nest, which is crucial to reducing interruptions in egg production. Therefore, choosing a chicken house with good air circulation, suitable temperature, sufficient light, and no odor and noise will increase the success rate of hens nesting.

Next, pay attention to controlling the hens’ diet and water sources. When hens are nesting, their appetite will be reduced and they cannot go out at will. Therefore, sufficient feed and water sources should be prepared for the hens during the nesting period to prevent the hens from interrupting the nesting due to hunger or desire.

Collecting eggs well is also key. If there are often eggs on the ground during the hen's nesting period, or if the eggs are broken when the chicken sits down, or if the eggs in the hen house are trampled by other chickens, the success rate of the hen's nesting will be affected. Therefore, we should clean the chicken coop every day, collect eggs in time, and need egg tray mats so that the eggs can have a stable surface.

Finally, master the appropriate cuddling time. The hen's nesting time should be about 21 days. The hen's physical and mental state will change during the incubation period. At this time, she must be given appropriate food and sufficient drinking water to keep the temperature of the chicken house appropriate. At the same time, do not disturb the hens during this period and try to minimize other disturbances.

In short, hen nesting is one of our main tasks in breeding chickens. Only by improving the environment of the chicken house, arranging the food supply, controlling the time for collecting eggs, and mastering the appropriate incubation period can the hens quickly nest and achieve our expected goals.
