How to avoid laying hens from pecking eggs by using the layer cage system?

Raising hens with poultry farming equipment, once you find that they develop a bad habit of eating their own eggs, you will end up with fewer eggs than expected, even if the laying is good.

 

There are two possibilities for eggs to break in layer cage systems. Maybe the poultry stepped on the egg and punctured the shell. Or one time while you were collecting eggs, one slipped out of your hand and fell onto the floor of the coop and shattered.

 

Once a hen has tasted fresh eggs and found it to be "good food," she may break the eggs on purpose to eat them. Once she learns to do this, other hens will learn from her and soon you may be very short of eggs.

 

So how do we prevent this? Or if eating eggs has become a problem, how can we fix it?

 

 

Preventing chickens from eating eggs is simpler and more effective with battery layer cages.

 

First, make sure your chickens get an adequate and balanced diet with plenty of protein and calcium. The layer cage systems provides an automatic feeding system, which evenly distributes the feed into the trough, and the feeding amount can be adjusted. In order to avoid waste of feed, there are feeding devices at both ends of the trough for feeding back. Feed trough. We recommend that you add protein and calcium materials to your feed so that each bird gets enough food.

 

Second, provide enough space for your chickens and eggs in the coop. There is a big gap between the height of the wire chicken cages before and after. Using an automatic poultry egg collection system, eggs are rolled smoothly onto the egg belt. The egg belt transports the eggs to the front of the cage. The eggs are then transferred to the vertical egg lift. Egg guides at the front of each floor guide eggs to different positions in the elevator. No collision will occur. This effectively prevents the possibility of the hen accidentally breaking the egg.

 

The above is the sharing of poultry equipment suppliers, hoping to help everyone solve the problem of chicken pecking eggs.
