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.
Body heat is lost through combs, wattles, legs, droppings and its wing-pits (I made that term up, but...you get the drift). When temperatures reach the mid 80s, a chicken will begin to pant, spread its wings away from its body, begin limiting its activity and reduce its feed intake.witch from layer feed (16% protein) to grower feed (18-20% protein). Since a chicken will eat less feed in the heat, providing laying hens with a ration higher in protein will allow them to eat less overall volume while continuing to meet their daily nutritional needs.
