Just been discussing when is a good time to bring in new girls and retire the older layers some of our girls are nearly three and egg production slowing in a few.
We currently have a clucky girl on 12 fertilized eggs and another half dozen Plymouth rocks to introduce to our mixed group of light Sussex and ISA browns.
After recently culling our aggressive rooster to make way for our new Plymouth rooster just want to know have our older girls had a good enough free range life or should we hang on to them a little longer, given that we always intended on them being dual purpose.
