Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earthâs surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock.Granite is the best-known igneous rock.ranite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.

This is dry, air, almost absent of humidity. Each year we know that egg production will drastically decline and that a heat induced molt is coming. The molt is not really from the heat but from the stress it places on our flock, so technically it is a stress induced molt.
You're probably aware that you can boost egg production in the winter by keeping day length 14 hours or longer. The flip side of that coin is that your flock has to deal with laying extra eggs during what would naturally be more of a rest period, so your hens may get sick and/or wear out sooner.
