What’s the matter with the egg that the laying hens? There are many reasons for this, and should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. To sum up, there are roughly four aspects.
1. See if the laying hens has just started laying eggs.
When laying hens first start laying eggs, some chickens lay eggs that are much smaller than normal eggs due to the fact that the reproductive system is not fully developed, but this situation will improve in a short time.
In rural areas, the newly laid eggs of this kind of laying hens are called “open nest eggs”, also called “first lay eggs”. Because this kind of egg is not only small, but also the shell color will be slightly different from normal eggs. People feel that the nutrition of the first condensed is particularly high, and the concentrated is all the essence.
Therefore, many people will deliberately look for this kind of egg to nourish the body of mothers, nourish the brains of students, and strengthen the physique of patients.
At one point it was sold at a much higher price than the average egg. But in fact, according to scientific research, the nutritional content of this new egg is not much higher than that of ordinary eggs, it is purely psychological.

2. Are the laying hens frightened?
Laying hens are timid and cannot be frightened. If the laying hens is subjected to external stimulation for a long time, it will cause reproductive dysfunction and abnormal egg production, such as small eggs, deformed eggs, double-yolked eggs, etc. If the stimulation is serious, it will not lay eggs, and it may even scare the chicken to death.
For example, Moshanghua’s family used to have a few laying hen, and they were all fine. Later, there was a dog at home. When the dog first came, he chased a few chickens in the courtyard every day, scaring the chickens into the trees.
During that time, chickens did not lay eggs very often, and occasionally lay eggs, which were less than half the size of normal eggs, and soft-shell eggs.
If that’s the case, it’s time to find out why the laying hens are frightened. For example, the sudden braking sound of the car, the roar of the engine, the sound of firecrackers, etc. may frighten the chicken. After finding the cause, eliminate what can be eliminated, and reduce what can be reduced.

3. Is the feed fed properly?
In order to lay eggs normally, it is very important to feed the laying hens with energy, protein and amino acids. If these nutrients are lacking for a long time, there will be a high probability of laying small eggs.
There is also insufficient feed, and the laying hens are underweight, and the eggs produced will be much smaller than normal eggs.
In summer, the temperature is high, and the food intake of chickens is reduced, and it is also possible to lay small eggs.
In this case, it is necessary to supply the laying hens with sufficient feed in strict accordance with the feeding standards to prevent the laying hen from being underweight.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to the reasonable ratio of feed, so as to provide enough nutrients for laying hens.
