What is one of the key impacts of pulling egg-laying hens out earlier than usual?

  1. Increased egg production

  2. Decreased profitability

  3. Improved bird health

  4. Higher viscosity of egg whites

The correct answer is: Decreased profitability

Removing egg-laying hens earlier than usual can lead to decreased profitability for several reasons. When hens are taken out of production prematurely, there are fewer eggs available for sale. This reduction in egg output directly impacts revenue, as farmers rely on a consistent and expected supply of eggs to maintain their business operations and meet market demand. Additionally, the operational costs associated with maintaining production, such as feed and housing, may still be incurred while egg sales diminish, further exacerbating the financial loss. This scenario highlights the importance of managing hen production timing to optimize profitability in poultry operations.
