Hope it won't affect their production when they start laying?

Hello House,
Having same issues as @bigthingz above....production dropped from 75 % to 64% after series of treatment and medication....
Was told the heat and weather could be the cause.
I gave them multivitamins consistently for 2 weeks. Could this have affected them....the day I stopped the vitamins. ..production decline started. Now even with multivitamins, production still continued to decline....Pls I need help....any advice or suggestions is welcome....nothing changed between peak and now except for multivitamins. ...Pls help
pls feed them very early around 5 am n give fresh and cool water so that before 8 am they are resting n drinking water n have enough energy to withstand heat stress. continue with supplements, cool water and give artificial light from 7pm till 9pm for 2weeks. where is your location so that I can advice about Newcastle.

It is wrong, allow them to pay to at least 5% capacity before boosting, it's like using fertility drugs when you have not even started menstruation.

Vitalfeed have reduced their quantity in the 25 kg bag. Not really recommended.

Go for Rico Gado, Hybrid or Top feed.

No wonder my pullets are not adding weight the way I expect. Imagine at week 15 and 3 days they are weighing 1.2kg.

Can I convert to Rico Gado or it is too late? And how much is the current price of the Rico gado grower and layer mash?

i say they have reduced their quantity in their bags and not quality oh! Its 1.5 paint bucket against the normal 2 paint bucket for 25kg bag. Its likely also the quality is also down. Anything i feed my noilers with vitalfeed grower mash, they loose a lot of feathers as compared to Rico Gado feeds.

Layer pellet =3400
Grower pellet/mash =3000
Chick mash =3400
