I'm raising Cochin chickens to sell later this Fall, I know they are a more expensive breed than a RIR or a white leghorn. But I want to know, how much should I sell a full grown, egg laying hen.
I'm 10 days away from hatching 13 eggs, and I have hatched some eggs last year, and I just took them away from the mother about 2-3 days after hatching. How long is the recommended period to leave the chicks with the mother.
