My white rock hen started laying at 4 months. My RIR's started a few weeks later.! I love the eggs but really love the difference in the heaviness of the birds.! You can buy chicks two days old for $6. any feed store. than you need feed and supplies to grow them(if you can). what do people think...
I was looking more in the line of meat birds. I know the ISA Brown is a heavy type bird and the American Bresse is a beautiful meat bird if fed right. I don't keep hens after the age of two, I sell them or take them to the market to swap or sell. feeding all organic is just another plus for the...
