How Many Crates of Eggs Should 200 Layers Produce Daily?

The number of crates 200 layers produce each day depends on the flock’s laying percentage. Since one crate holds 30 eggs, a 70% laying rate gives about 140 eggs, or 4½ crates. At 80% production, 200 birds should produce about 160 eggs, equivalent to 5⅓ crates. At 90%, they should produce 180 eggs, or six crates. Healthy commercial layers can exceed 90% production at peak laying when feed, housing and health conditions are well managed. Do not only count crates. Track your flock’s daily laying percentage. If 200 birds produce only four crates, check their age, feed intake, health status, production trend and possible egg losses. Proper daily records help you identify problems early and improve performance.
