It usually takes about 5-30 minutes for a hen to lay 1 egg. The laying age of laying hens is about 2 1 week, and the laying rate will increase exponentially (5%- 10%-20%-40%) at the initial stage of laying, and then increase by half (40%-60%-80%) after reaching 40%, and it will enter the peak of laying after 6-7 weeks (the laying rate can reach 90%)

How many minutes does it take for a hen to lay an egg?

1. Generally speaking, it takes about 5-30 minutes for a hen to lay 1 egg.

2. Laying hens will start around 265,438+0 weeks old. In the early stage of laying eggs, their egg laying rate will increase exponentially (the growth value is 5%-65,438+00%-20%-40%), and will increase by half after reaching 40% (the growth value is 40%-60%-80%), and it will enter in 6-7 weeks after laying eggs.

3. The peak laying period of hens will last for about 14 days. After the peak laying period, the laying rate will decrease by about 0.5% every week, with the maximum not exceeding 1%.

4. When the hen grows to 72 weeks old, the egg laying rate usually decreases to 65-70%. After 72 weeks of age, we can consider eliminating hens that have stopped production.

Second, do hens lay eggs every day?

Hens entering the breeding period will lay 1-2 eggs every day. In the natural environment, they will continue to lay eggs, and when there are many eggs in the nest, they will start to hold the nest. If you want to improve the laying rate of hens, you can adopt the following methods:

1, feeding germinated feed.

After entering the winter and spring season, feeding hens with germinated feed can improve the egg laying rate by about 10-20%.

2. Feed gypsum powder

Feeding hens with gypsum powder at a dose of 0.5-3g/ day can increase the laying rate of hens by more than 12%.

3. Feed zinc

If hens are molting, 2% zinc sulfate can be added to the feed. After continuous feeding 1 week, the general egg laying rate can be increased by 5%, and it can be increased by 10% after 2 weeks.
