"🥚🐓 The Secret to More Eggs Every Day – Local Farmers Can’t Stop Talking About It! 🌟"

💡 Here are the proven practices to get your hens laying more eggs:

1. 🍽️ Feed a Balanced Diet: Use affordable ingredients like rice germ, fishmeal for protein, and Superminovit for essential vitamins and minerals.

2. 🦴 Add Enough Calcium: Crushed oyster shells or limestone will keep eggshells strong and healthy.

3. 💡 Provide Proper Lighting: Ensure your hens get 14–16 hours of light daily for consistent laying.

4. 🚰 Keep Them Hydrated: Fresh, clean water is a must—dehydration stops laying fast!

5. 🌳 Reduce Stress: Keep the coop safe, spacious, and free from predators or loud noise.

6. 🔍 Regular Health Checks: Deworm your flock and vaccinate against diseases like fowl pox.

7. 🪶 Comfortable Nesting: Clean, cozy nesting boxes encourage your hens to lay more eggs.

🚨 Attention Poultry Keepers! 🚨

Are your chickens mysteriously dying one by one? Here's what could be happening and how to save your flock:

🦠 Disease Outbreak: Check for unusual droppings, lethargy, or sudden deaths. Isolate sick birds and consult a vet ASAP! Vaccination is key.

🥬 Poor Nutrition: Are you feeding them a balanced diet? Moldy or contaminated feed can be a silent killer.

🪳 Parasites: Watch out for pale combs, weight loss, or visible mites and lice. Deworm your flock and act fast.

☠️ Toxins or Poisoning: Moldy feed, poisonous plants, or chemicals can harm your chickens. Always provide clean water and fresh feed.

🌡️ Environmental Stress: Overcrowding, poor ventilation, or extreme weather can weaken your birds. Ensure the coop is safe and comfortable.

🐾 Predators or Injuries: Secure your coop and monitor for any signs of predator attacks or fights within the flock.
