In this cold weather, I give my chickens hot water to drink everyday. They are laying like spring. 6 eggs yesterday after 3 days of 5 eggs. I have Marans that ares suppose to lay once every 2.4 days.

Okay so i'm a guy who wants to know what is happening and why, so scientifically speaking how or why does this pepper make them lay? Can anyone explain this to me?

 

[incubatingisfun]

all i know is that it makes the blood circulate faster

 

[spamee34]

ok so how often is this a one time thing or what ? Mine aren't laying at all yet and they need to !

 

[incubatingisfun]

i give my hens cayyen pepper every day

 

[ljf24]

yea, theres no way of overdosing with pepper so let your hens have at it.

I'm gonna get some today and try it. 40+ hens now, and only about 15 eggs a day. I'll re-post after a few days! Thanks.
