Point of Cage Pullets (10-12 Weeks Old) Highlights

  • Pullet Maturity: Pullets are young female chickens, typically between 6 to 20 weeks old, before they begin laying eggs. They are at a stage where they are developing into adult hens.
  • Growth Stage for Laying: Purchasing pullets is a common practice for those looking to establish or expand a laying flock. They are ready to transition to a laying environment.
  • Nutritional Needs: Pullets require specific feed formulations that support their growth and development towards egg production. This includes adequate protein and calcium.
  • Housing Considerations: Adequate space, ventilation, and protection from predators are essential for raising pullets. They will need roosting bars and nesting boxes as they mature.
  • Transition to Laying: As pullets approach laying age (around 18-22 weeks), their diet should be adjusted to a layer feed. Changes in environment and routine can influence the onset of laying.
