I lost some of the free range layers to a fox earlier in the season and after waiting to be sure cub rearing season was over I started restocking. But I think I may have gone a wee bit overboard as they're all growing and I can see limitations in my egg customers if not my feed budget and pen space for juveniles.
So I'm planning to sell on some pullets (they were purchased as sexed female chicks but with a 5% error margin in the terms from one source (speckledy, cuckoo and copper maran, bluebells and sussex) and a possible 2/7 in the other (legbars) as the 2 were odd marked and autosexing not visible - I think one of those looks suspiciously well grown already at 2.5 weeks personally..)
I've some of each of the day old, 2.5 week and 6 week olds to sell on as the 4 pols I'm keeping for my immediate needs just now. I am guessing 15-16 weeks is the best time when reaching POL, but does anyone find a customer preference for growers at maybe 10-12 weeks at all? That would suit my timings better, but I don't want an ad getting old because I've posted the wrong age. What do you do?
