12-16. Last year I was always able to send 16. I have six females. I save eggs all week. I place them on a turner, and set them every Sunday. When I sell them I do the same thing. I just package them on Sunday and mail them Monday. shipping is around 15 bucks, that would be included in the sixty. Pay-pal gets a couple of bucks too. I package the eggs very well also. I get 42-43 bucks after all that. The birds have several years of good breeding in them and the chicks from the eggs are from the same pen I raise/show/breed out of. I know eggs are a gamble. Most people who bought from me last year did very well. I have had SEVERAL contact me to let me know of their success in the showroom from my eggs.

Nah. I'm not really in the market for anything at the moment. Is there often poultry auctioned off? Or poultry supplies? Good to know for future reference.

minichic, can you come to the auction this weekend or are you busy. i had to sell the japanese bantam and some others. i feel bad because he was really pretty and one of my pets. If you can come, let me know.

An outstanding value, and rare opportunity, to get a very good start in Brahmas.

As the old saying goes, start with the best stock you can afford, It does not cost any more to feed a good one, than one of much less qaulity.

Thanks for the endorsement Gary. I'll give it a week or so.

Any thoughts on what's going on with this 7 month old cockerel's eye. He's been mixing it up with some flockmates recently, but seems otherwise healthy.

Last year was my first year with brahma's. Can someone tell me what the average age is for brahma pullets to start laying?

 

[Illia]

Hatchery stock - Normal 5-7 months.

Non-hatchery stock - Usually later. I waited over 8 months for my Blue Partridge girl, I'd assume with their larger size and slow growth most others would also take longer.

Time of year can also have an effect. If a pullet is nearing point of lay, going into winter, and shorter daylight hours, (without additional lighting), can also delay first eggs.
