Point of Lay is the term we use to describe pullets that are approaching the age they will start laying. When they start laying eggs depends on their parental stock as well as brooding and rearing conditions. The expected laying varies between 18 and 22 weeks of age. Thus, early purchase allows hens to adapt to rearing conditions and management practices.

– Most professionals advise new farmers to start chicken egg production with laying hens. That’s why we’ve worked really hard to make sure you have peace of mind as a new or returning poultry farmer.
– 12 week old Point of Lay hens have completed all required vaccinations for their age (you will need to have a vet complete the remaining vaccinations).
– At the time of laying (16 weeks), the hens passed through the most difficult stages of raising chickens, having been reared by experienced professionals.
– They are raised in very favorable conditions and properly managed to ensure they deliver well on your farm.
– Depending on how you manage the chickens on your farm, we expect our laying hens to cross 50% egg production within 2-3 months and reach over 80% egg production or more within 4 to 5 months following collection from us.
