Ok I have some older hens in individual pens to see if they are still laying. Do they have to have a nesting box in there to lay and how many days would you give them before you culled them?
Not to be cruel but I cant afford to keep feeding if they arent producing....
Wanted to buy chicks hatched February Early March - Barnvelder, Chantecler,Delaware,Austrolorps, Plymoth Rocks, will consider others, for 4-H show project. Will pick up within 50 or so miles from Northwest Ohio. Prefer pullets, but will take straight run. Also can pay shipping
