I have an Australorp that is 8 years old and still laying an egg every 2 days.
WOW!
I had Jersey Giants that laid for 7 years straight. Those old hens kept putting out eggs, though less than in their prime. They even laid eggs in the winter time.
I feed all my chickens, no matter their age a grower feed. They need the extra protein. But they also need oyster shell on the side to provide the calcium. But they will monitor and self limit how much calcium they use. The extra protein helps with making the molting easier and quicker, increasing egg production, and overall healthier chickens.
It looks like you put a lot of effort into making these beautiful videos. Thank you for your very interesting videos.
I think you are underestimating the ability for some of those breeds, and crosses to lay for longer. I have several sex linked chickens that lay very well for at least four years. I keep all my chickens for at least four years. The only problem with the sex linked chickens is that sometimes they have health issues because of their high laying rate. I've only had that issue one time but it can't happen. And remember the seas chickens don't read the books, they don't know how many eggs they are supposed to lay. And where you get that makes a big deal. For instance, you could get Rhode Island reds from three different places, three different hatchery's. And you could have three completely different birds when it comes to eggs, personality, etc. So if you have a bad experience with one breed try that same breed from a different source and you might be pleasantly surprised.
My two Buff Orpingtons are 7 and still laying eggs. They do stop over winter which is fine with me as they need to rest. Take care of your hens and they will live a long time.
Can I give the layer feed to the broilers that are sixteen weeks old
Barnevelders are underrated
I get four eggs a day from my fice chickens. They are three and a half years old.
