I'm pretty new at this, so I have a few basic questions about my small flock. My birds are about 10 weeks old now. I have (1) black sex-link pullet, (2) production red pullets, and (1) golden laced cochin cockerel.
When can I expect the females to start laying? I've read that the sex-links will start earlier?
When should I open up the laying boxes for them? Right now I've got the boxes blocked off in the coop so they don't sleep in there.
I'm currently feeding them Purina medicated start and grow crumbles. When should I switch them to a more adult food, and what should I switch to?
If I decide to cull and cook my cockerel, what age is best to do this?
That's is for now. Thanks in advance for any replies!
