About chicken feeding

[Rizu]

Hi
I read some article that if we give feeding of broiler to old white leg horn chicken who are laying once in alternative days, they will start laying daily after putting broiler feed.
Is it so?

Genetics plays a larger role in how often a hen lays eggs than other factors. However, poor nutrition can affect eggs laying. If you've been feeding a balanced layer feed or an all-flock feed, feeding meat bird feed is only going to increase the protein intake a little bit. It could make a slight difference in the frequency of eggs if the infrequency was due to lack of protein.

In other words, it probably won't make a difference, but it won't hurt to give it a try and see what happens. Make sure the hens get oyster shell free choice available at all times.
