Anyone know about deathlayer chicks?

[Chipmunk Chicks]

They are called death layer because they lay eggs until they die. We have (5) 5 week old death layers right now.

Pics!!?

My experience has been that they don't lay eggs til they die. I have one here that hasn't laid an egg in well over a year. I have another that still lays, but sporadically.

Make sure you are feeding high protein. 4 -7 months is when many of my DL's died from genetic issues. I have found high protein feed is best for them throughout their lives, esp if you want eggs.
