Frequently Asked Questions
How do I improve egg production?
Choose high‑production breeds, provide quality feed and clean water, and ensure adequate daylight. Hens lay less during molt and in cold, dark months.
What if feed prices rise?
Update your monthly feed cost to see the impact. Consider bulk feed, storage bins, and sharing purchases with neighbors to reduce per‑dozen costs.
Can I sell extra eggs?
Many municipalities allow limited sales directly to consumers with basic labeling. Check local regulations. The surplus dozens figure helps you plan demand.
