Careful With Pullets to Avoid Molt in Fall
Purdue University's H W Fitting advises poultry producers to hatch pullets early for fall egg output while hens molt. Target pullet maturity around October 1, with lighter breeds reaching in about six to seven months. Prevent rapid development via limited grain, remove animal protein from mash as combs redden, and add minerals when protein is reduced. Delayed egg production is not possible once pullets mature.
