Early Maturing Pullets Usually Best Layers
Early developing pullets are the best layers in growing flocks. They start laying sooner and continue longer with a good laying ration and weight maintenance. If sexual development occurs, delay sustained laying by reducing protein and meat scrap to 5 to 10 percent and feeding grain for about two weeks.
