It is no secret that not all the chickens that are on the farm give their owner eggs.
While some birds delight their owner with their success, others are completely unproductive.
In this article, we will tell you how to determine which chickens in your coop are laying eggs and which are not.
For this you will need a large amount of crushed feed chalk.
Put chalk on all the nests and check the hens after dinner. A hen that has laid eggs will have a white coating around her vent.
Mark other hens with tape and watch them for a week, removing the marks when the bloom appears. This will help you identify which hens are not laying.
It is recommended to add chalk every night for a more accurate determination, however this method is not suitable for chickens with white feathers, as the chalk marks will not be visible.
Some people recommend using soot from the stove, but this method also has its drawback – it will be difficult to clean up.
