Sell Old Fowls in Fall to Save Winter Feeding
Farmers increasingly sell old hens in fall after laying ends to avoid winter upkeep. Pullets are preferred as winter layers, while keeping old hens raises costs without proportional returns. The aim is enough hens to hatch eggs, while only pullets are kept when possible to maintain flock productivity.
