Chicken laying two eggs a day - need food supplements?

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone.

 

I'm hoping some of you can give me some advice as one of our girls has taken to regularly laying two large eggs (80-95g often double yolkers) per day and I'm worried about the strain this may be putting on her. I was expecting 5-6 eggs a week from her but instead get 9 or 10 often with up to 12 yolks between them and this seems to be a settled pattern now.

 

I give them all limestone powder, garlic powder, bokashi and poultry spice.. is there anything else that she might need as I don't want her to burn herself out and get sick

 

She makes up for her little sister who still isn't showing any signs of laying despite a good diet

I would let her fill up on less nutritious like pasta and rice and mashed spud so that her laying is reduced.

 

it might take a day or two.

 

You might have to separate her from the others for a while whilst she scoffs this.

 

You are right to be concerned that she might burn out.
