Consider potential crop changes, disease, pests, and whether a beef or dairy operation, sheep, hay, grain, or other farming can replace current practices. Review local economic changes from the last 30 years to judge future adaptability.

Fowls For Egg Production And Winter Laying Timing
The article advises replacing older hens with pullets for winter egg production. Early hatched pullets should begin laying by October or November, while yearlings start around January and older hens later. November and December eggs fetch higher prices. Laying breeds begin at five to six months, general-purpose at six to seven, and meat breeds at seven to eight months.
Buying of pullets in fall preferred to chicks
The United States Department of Agriculture says buying pullets in fall is preferable to day-old chicks or spring hatching. Limited space and lack of experience deter city dwellers from raising chicks, as hens or incubators and brooders are costly and impractical for many households.
