Early Laying Record in Leghorn Pullets at Iowa State
Poultry experts report a record laying time of 109 days after hatching for S. C. White Leghorns, with hens showing full maturity and sustained laying into summer. Buttermilk plays a key role in the diet, alongside a dry mash of bran corn meal and bone meal, improving efficiency and shortening the molt to lay interval.
