It takes about 22 weeks from hatching for a pullet to begin laying eggs. She can lay for several years with about eight weeks break for molting each year.

Day-old chicks are available from February through September at most hatcheries. Minimum quantities of 12 - 25 are required to assure the chicks warmth during transport. Instructions for care are included on most hatchery literature. Please read the hatchery literature carefully.

See Starting Chicks for more information.
