LISTS OF FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE SIZE OF EGGS LAID BY HENS:

There are many factors that affect the size of eggs laid by an hen. These factors include:

1. Feed: 

Feed that is well balanced give a bigger eggs than feed that is poorly balanced. Also restricting the birds of feed lead to laying of smaller eggs.

2 Water: 

Shortage of water ultimately lead to small eggs due to reduction of the quantity of water in egg composition.

3. Protein level in the feed: 

Higher protein level in the feed give bigger eggs.

4. Temperature:

High environmental temperature reduce eggs production and sizes.

5. Lighting:

This is one way layer farmer get it wrong. 

Standard lighting period of 17 is perfect for layers.

#Excessive increase in light timing result in small egg drop and #Reduced light program result in dropping in the egg percentage.
