i,d like to knew about 1-The age of the flock. 2-The type of production.. 3-The formulation of ration 4-Lighting programme.

your location is kerala, is that right, the birds you have are certainly not the brown egg layer type, they are either brown broiler type crosses or the giriraja or vanaraja types, where did you buy them ? what is the egg production % ? what is the age ? purpose of keeping only 200 birds ? be in touch with some poultry expert for advice.

Dear farmer. We recommend feeding egg strain bird without restriction from day old chicks up to laying and while laying. Birds usually eat to meat their energy requirement. Energy requirements depend on metabolic body weight, physiological status, weather condition, laying rate and egg weight. Therefore the most important observation is to balance energy/ protein ratio. Thus, scientifically, its not logical to restrict feeding. But you are advised to ensure equipment do not waste feeds. Also you adhere to proper lightning regimes. Layers require at 16hours light.

If there are hungry, they will eat faster. Conclusion: give more feed. Advice: give the feed at 2 pm. Feeders have to be empty at 10 am

Can´t be lohmann brown laying hens . They can not reach 3 Kg Body weight. Maybe someone sold you a pig in a poke,
