Eggs cost more to raise than some claim says
Dr Kaupp of North Carolina State College disputes figures claiming eggs can be produced for 13 to 15 cents a dozen. In a 750 hen test he reports costs near 25 cents per dozen when including feed and overhead, with each hen yielding a net annual profit of about 2.40 dollars after all charges.

Early-Hatched Pullets Promise Profits in Egg Production
Early-hatched pullets that start in October or November are most profitable for egg production. Fall and winter laying is high, while late-maturing birds may underperform. Sturdy, well-weighted pullets endure the high period, unlike rapidly maturing birds that molt early and lay poorly.
Late Molting Hens Have Varying Molting Time and Egg Yield
A Missouri agricultural experiment reports hens that molt in July average 182 days off and 109 eggs. August molt wear 151 days and 184 eggs. September 142 days and 187 eggs. October 4 days and 108 eggs. November 60 days and 171 eggs. December 45 days and 174 eggs.
