8:44Now PlayingAre you struggling with low egg production, especially during winter? Stop getting "zero eggs" and learn the secrets to a profitable flock!
In this essential lesson, Joel Salatin reveals the three critical factors—the "Three Strikes"—that reduce your laying hens' production: day length, maturity/molting cycles, and comfort. Joel shares his practical, pasture-based strategies for overcoming these hurdles. You’ll learn the ideal time to start pullets, how to manage the molting cycle to maintain better lay percentages, and the vital role of bird comfort (guarding against cold, wet, and drafts) in ensuring your hens have enough calories left over to lay eggs. Discover how to keep your flock laying productively for two or even three cycles without relying on artificial lights, making your egg business viable year-round.
