Controlling temperature and humidity inside the coop can reduce egg breakage
Control the temperature and humidity inside the coop well to increase eggshell hardness. High temperatures cause a drop in feed intake in laying hens, which lowers nutrient intake, affects the deposition of calcium salts, and reduces eggshell quality, leading to more wrinkled eggs. You can lower the temperature by placing ice blocks inside the coop, using evaporative cooling pads, or spraying with cold water. High humidity also makes eggshell hardness lower, and the egg breakage rate higher.
