This question is mainly for those who cull your hens at a certain age and bring in a new flock of layers. What age do you cull and bring in your new layers? What time of year do you normally do it?
My grandfather would cull around 1 1/2 and bring in 8 or even 16 week old girls around that time so they would be laying full time in the spring.
In Maryland, with spring and fall colder, most of the chickens for sale seem to be April and September.
