Behaviors for egg laying hens
The first egg: They will most likely be shocked when they lay their first egg. It is often not laid in the nest. I found the first egg in the garden bed outside my door. This must be where the idea of an Easter egg hunt came from! One had been laid previously on the hard cement floor of the barn and the shell was not intact. This sometimes is the case for the first eggs as their bodies get used to the idea. Don’t worry. This usually clears up within an egg or two. If it doesn’t it may mean they need extra calcium, which is the main component in eggs. Some recommend supplementing with oyster shell calcium, but I think it may be too contaminated with hazardous wastes. Another source of calcium is vegetable matter – kale, broccoli bits and grass clippings. (Just think about how much grass a cow eats to get that calcium in the milk). I just recently had to add the oyster shell calcium to their diet as they were eating the eggs in the coop and the shells were really thin. To encourage them to lay their eggs in the nest, you may have to place an egg in the nest or another egg like object like a golf ball. They actually have fake eggs for this purpose, but I don’t think they are necessary. Laying hens may also need sunlight or artificial light. They need about 16-18 hours a day, which means in the winter you will have to leave the lights on or have fewer eggs. I like to give them a break and it seems more natural. If they aren’t supposed to be laying as much in the winter, they may need the rest for some reason. I still got plenty of eggs with my 4 hens during this past winter – 1-2 a day. Hens in general will lay one egg every 24-48 hours or so. How they do it is actually amazing when you think about it. All that they eat is turned into the process of egg laying. That is why they need so much calcium too! I give extra treats of corn in the winter only because they seemed to be getting bored. I also regularly give my chickens golden flaxseeds to get more of those omega-3’s that we are supposed to be getting.
