How do you get a chicken to lay eggs in a fixed place, and how do you get a chicken to lay eggs?

The most important period for nest selection is when the chickens are first born, i.e. at 22-27 weeks of age. When the hen lays 4-8 eggs in a certain position, the habit of nesting is formed, and the chicken will find the same place or a similar place to lay eggs. Hens start looking for a place to lay eggs within seven days of the start of laying.

The nests should be opened 7 days before the expected farrowing date. We can make sure that the young flock that is about to lay their eggs by visiting the house several times before and after the start of the farrowing period and moving the birds towards the nest. However, do not walk too close to the nest so as not to scare the chickens away from the nest, and walk along the wall or the ground**.

The best time to move around is in the evening, most of the chickens are in the nest in the morning, and it is easy to scare the chickens away from the nest when they move.

Hens are naturally determined to choose places where they feel safe to make their nests (e.g., sturdy closed to dark places). Adjust the equipment so that the most suitable place for chickens to make nests is limited to artificial nesting boxes.

Remove anything that makes the hen feel closed and safe underneath or next to it. The height of the feed line and the water line should be sufficient so that the chickens can move freely underneath them. Even try to get as close to the surface of the slats as possible to prevent the chickens from making nests underneath them.

Once the chicken coop is set up, in a relatively quiet environment, it is right to cultivate habits.

Chicken is a kind of animal that can be domesticated, you can make a comfortable nest before the chicken lays eggs, put an egg model in the nest, so that it is very convenient for the chicken to have a fixed consciousness, hope, thank you.

Generally, chickens lay eggs in a fixed place, never messily, the key is that the first egg must be laid in the chicken nest, and then the chicken decides to lay in the chicken nest.

Raising chickens in rural areas, how to make chickens lay eggs in a fixed place? Just learn these 4 tips.

If you want chickens to place orders in a fixed place, you must pay attention to the appropriate chicken nest, place the eggs, prevent nest snatching and pick up eggs in a timely manner. Use wicker or rattan to weave the nest, spread hay, and put in an eggshell filled with soil as a guide egg, so that every two chickens occupy a nest, and avoid the hens when picking up eggs.

1. Prepare a chicken nest

If we want the hens to lay their eggs in a fixed place, we need to prepare a suitable nest for them before they lay their eggs there. We can use wicker to weave a base, or use something like a basket, spread a layer of soft hay and straw on the bottom, and place it in a shady place.

2. Place the egg

If the hen lays eggs in the nest will all disappear after a period of time, the hen will change places to lay eggs, so we have to place a lead egg in the chicken nest, generally use a normal egg to break a small hole, and then release the egg liquid inside and pour in some soil, seal the break, the egg can not be taken away, to be placed in the chicken nest all the time.

3. Prevent nest grabbing

The number of hens that can be accommodated in each chicken nest is relatively limited, so we should pay attention to the number of hens when building a chicken nest, generally speaking, it is best for two hens to share a chicken nest is the most appropriate, if there are many chicken nests and few nests, it will also cause the phenomenon of frequent replacement of chicken nests by hens.

4. Pick up eggs at the right time

The hen will guard the eggs she lays, if we often pick up their eggs in front of the hen, the hen will change the place of order after the number of times, so before we are ready to pick up the eggs, it is best to feed the hen or other ways to lure the hen away, and then pick up the eggs, it will not cause the hen to change the nest.

Eggs that have been fertilized can hatch chicks.

The eggs used to hatch the chicks must be polycultured and fertilized. In general, eggs on the market cannot hatch chicks, because the laying hens are not roosters, that is to say, this kind of eggs do not belong to fertilized eggs, so they cannot hatch chicks.

Chickens are oviparous animals, and embryos develop in eggs. After fertilization, the zygote undergoes 24 to 27 hours of development in the fallopian tubes. Over such a long period of time, the zygote has developed to the blastocyst stage or even the early gastrulation stage.

Precautions for hatching chicks:

1. The eggs laid by fertilized chickens can be seen under the lamp, and a black dot can be seen in this way, so that the chicks can be hatched.

2. The temperature is very important when incubating chicks, generally 37-39 degrees. Double yolk eggs cannot hatch chicks, due to insufficient oxygen**, resulting in suffocation of small lives and death halfway. So in daily life, double yolk eggs have no hatching value.

3. Not all eggs can hatch chicks, only fertilized eggs can hatch chicks at an adapted temperature and a certain time.

4. Big hens can hatch about 30 for 21 days. In today's artificial breeding industry, as long as the eggs are intact and freshly fertilized, the beans can be hatched all year round. The eggs are incubated at around Celsius, and it takes 21 days from hatching to hatching.

5. After 21 days of incubation through the incubator or the nest hens, the chicks break out of the shell. Incubator incubation, the temperature is basically constant, the early temperature can be slightly higher, but not more than 38 °C, the later stage can be slightly lower, but not lower than 37 °C, the later embryo grows rapidly, itself will be hot, so the incubation temperature can be appropriately reduced.
