AGREE, but are the ones that lay earlier and often of the same age/breed/conditions may the ones we should

. I think so, but am not sure. Maybe the later layers will be better ultimately
for size and productivity...?
Observations and good record keeping will help us here. Am watching mine as with all my breeds for
lay rate/egg size and productivity. This is of prime importance, I think. I have many that need work on
color or type....but above all I want layers of early good sized eggs...
All other things and SOP quality being equal...it is about the eggs and productivity I think
