Summer egg chicken shears well
In the summer, laying hens are sheared to help them stay cool and prevent heat stress. In addition, they are not allowed to rest during this time. The process is carefully managed to ensure their health and productivity. Here's how it's done:
After the summer season begins, the hens' wings, chest, abdomen, back, and neck are trimmed. Only the long feathers on their tails and wings are left. This helps them fan themselves more effectively and also keeps away insects like mosquitoes and flies. The cutting should be done carefully—avoiding the skin and major blood vessels. It's important to keep the feathers short enough to allow for better air circulation but not so short that it causes discomfort or injury.
During early summer, fewer cuts are made, while more trimming occurs in the hotter months. The process usually starts with using a flashlight to locate the corns (the hard parts of the feather shafts). Once found, the hen is quickly caught to minimize stress. The handler must act swiftly to avoid the chicken from squawking or flapping its wings. After cutting, the hen is held gently until it calms down before being released.
Since chickens don’t have sweat glands, their thick feathers help them stay warm in cold weather but make it harder for them to cool down in the summer. By shearing them, their ability to regulate body temperature improves, which in turn supports better egg production. This practice is essential for maintaining the health and performance of the flock during hot seasons.
