Early Maturing Pullets Make Best Laying Flocks
Observations show fast developing pullets are top layers in a growing flock. They start laying earlier and maintain output longer if fed a proper laying ration and kept at suitable body weight. Some birds mature sexually with reddened combs and may temporarily slow growth. if so, extend growth by lowering growing ration protein and meat scrap to 5 to 10 percent and feeding grain heavily for about two weeks.
