Early Hatching Boosts Fall and Winter Egg Production
A poultry expert explains that hens molt in late summer, stopping egg laying for three to four months. To maintain steady egg supply, hatch pullets early so they start laying by seven months, with March and April hatchings favored north of the Ohio River. Government data show pullets averaging 20 percent egg production, up to 35 percent in some pens, yielding about one egg per five hens daily while fresh eggs sold for up to 75 cents a dozen.
