What are the reasons why hens don't lay eggs and how to solve them?

The reasons why hens don't lay eggs are incorrect egg position, cloacal inflammation, vitelline peritonitis and so on.

1, the egg position is not correct.

If the hen has just started laying eggs, then in this case, the hen will not have difficulty laying eggs or will not lay eggs. In this case, farmers need to help hens.

Specifically, one person grabs the wings and thighs of the hen, with the head facing upwards and the abdomen facing outwards. Then another person smears vegetable oil with his fingers, inserts it into the cloaca of the chicken, puts the egg in a straight position, peels off the oviduct mucosa covering the egg surface at the same time, and then slowly presses the hen's abdomen with the other hand to squeeze out the stranded eggs.

2, cloacal inflammation.

The above-mentioned egg laying treatment method is generally suitable for hens laying eggs for the first time, which can solve the problem of not laying eggs well. If hens don't lay eggs and often defecate, then the cloaca is very inflamed.

For example, farmers should feed oxytetracycline in the morning and evening to relieve inflammation, and at the same time clean the cloaca of hens with iodine dissolved in warm water, and then gently touch the fallopian tubes of hens with the anus facing up to help them return to their original positions.

3. Egg yolk peritonitis.

I don't know if you have found this situation when raising chickens at home, so the hens will cackle when they leave the nest, but if you go to see the chicken nest, you will find that there are no eggs.

This situation is actually a typical yolk peritonitis, which is harmless to the chicken itself. There are generally no other symptoms except eggs eaten during maternity leave. Only after dissecting the chicken can we find yellow effusion and spoiled egg yolk fragments in the abdominal cavity.

This disease is usually caused by fright. Don't chase the hen violently when laying eggs, otherwise it will easily fall into the abdominal cavity instead of the fallopian tube.

The disease is often treated with antibacterial drugs, but the effect is not obvious. You can try to make pills with crushed rhubarb vines mixed with flour, and each hen takes them three times a day. The dosage of biological medicine is about 2 grams each time, which can make hens return to normal within one week.
