I think, what not each owner or the hostess know, why hens (and other bird) rush seasonally. Didn’t know it and I, useful conversation didn’t take place yet. Since then and my hens, as well as at other bright owners, rushed almost all year.

When our family moved from the farm to the district, okazalos that in an economy there is no place to place hens. It was necessary to construct a hen house quickly. Gathered stones which by the way, in Transnistria suffices, erected two walls (the third the shed barn wall served), built in a door and a window, and from above a hen house covered with roofing material. On 30 – 40 cm below a ceiling fixed some crossbeams as perches.
Hens contained in such hen house not one year. And xotya at people of a chicken lay eggs almost all year – ours neslis seasonally: in the early spring and in the end of the year. And only the rare chicken still "brought" some eggs in the autumn. Winter of eggs wasn’t.
But once got to talking about it with neighbor Alexey Markiyanovich Kolesnik. Mother complained to it of hens supposedly both I feed well, and I look after, and they don’t rush.
The neighbor approached to a hen house, examined it, and then podozval me and tells:
- In such hen house during cold time of a chicken won’t rush. It cold. The stock of heat isn’t present, so and rezultaty the unfavourable: in vain feed hens. Means, it is necessary to warm walls, to lift a ceiling or to lower perches, chtoby above there was a stock of warm air. Chicken, speaks, mayolenky, but she breathes, allocates heat. And with it warms itself when it is cold. The temperature in a hen house should be not lower +12-15°C. The higher, the better. But all moderately. Then your hens will rush in the winter.
I considered its councils and though outside there was a cold autumn, after all converted a hen house. Now it already was really warm. Laid even a deal floor, made feeding troughs, drinking bowls, put some boxes nests, filled up a floor with sand.
After that "housewarming" passed less than a month. And, jotas? in December already there were quite notable frosts, hens nachali to rush. At first one-two, and over time – all vosem.
