Winter Poultry Care: Boost Egg Production & Keep Chickens Healthy!

• Increase bedding thickness to 8 inches with wood shavings and keep it dry to prevent illness in winter.
• Install curtains/burlap sacks on farm windows/doors to block cold air, leaving space for ventilation; use bulbs/heaters in extreme cold.
• Provide a balanced diet with energy/protein feeds, multi-vitamin/mineral supplements, and clean lukewarm water.
• Ensure timely vaccination and deworming; vaccinate against infectious coryza, fowl cholera, spirochetosis, and egg drop syndrome.
• Veterinary expert Dr. Yogesh Arya advises removing curtains slightly on sunny days after fog for air circulation and moisture drying.

Why It Matters: Implement specific winter care strategies to maintain chicken health and consistent egg production.
