Egg laying boxSoft, comfortable, moderately elastic, clean (and possibly disinfected) egg box padding should be laid, such as rice husks, shavings, etc. The thickness of the padding inside the box should be ensured to be one-third, but not more than two-thirds. If it is too full, it will be difficult for chickens to enter and turn around the egg box. When starting production, do not add new padding on the ground. Fresh padding should only be placed in the egg laying box to encourage chickens to use the box. After laying eggs, the padding in the box comes into contact with the eggs first, so cleanliness and hygiene are required. The padding in the box should be replaced as often as possible, and the shavings, rice husks, etc. in the box should be replaced every 2 weeks. It is recommended to use dried pine shavings because of their soft texture and natural defense against insects, bacteria, and mold. Of course, potassium permanganate fumigation is more effective. If conditions permit, regular monitoring should be conducted on the degree of contamination of the bedding in the egg laying box, and cultivation of bacteria, molds, etc. should be carried out. Frequent scratching and compression by hens can gradually lead to thick edges, thin middle, and even bottoming out of bedding. In addition to timely addition, breeders can also pay attention to tidying up regularly. Those who use bottom pads should also pay attention to cleaning, and try to use two sets to rotate disinfection& nbsp;
Keep the egg box well ventilated. As mentioned earlier, the body temperature of hens increases during egg production. In summer, open houses should avoid direct sunlight (especially iron), otherwise the hens do not want to enjoy excessive light and high temperatures. Many chicken farms use spray evaporation to reduce the shed temperature in summer. At this time, try not to wet the nest of the egg production box. Poor ventilation in winter and high humidity in chicken coop bedding are significant issues that need to be addressed.
