PULLET CARE SHEET
For best results in keeping your hens healthy, happy, and productive!
LIGHT: 15 hours of light / 9 hours of darkness
We recommend plugging your light into a timer and setting it to go dark at sundown and come back on nine hours later. This especially important during the fall and winter months getting pullets to start laying.
WATER: Plenty of free access to highly visible water
We recommend either gravity waterers or nipple waterers. The pullets have most likely been raised thus far on nipple waterers so should take them easily.
FEED: Layer feed with 18%+ protein
We recommend consulting with your local feed mill for best feed mix available or purchase at a farm store. Always feed 18% or better for premium results including egg quantity and size. We don’t recommend feeding pellets as the pullets haven’t been grown with them and may not recognize them as feed.
BEDDING: Dry and clean fluffy bedding
We recommend shaving or straw on a regular replacement schedule, but above all make sure it is dry.
ROOM TO MOVE: At least 3 square feet per hen
We recommend at least 3 square feet per hen of inside space and an ample outside run or free-range area.
EGG COLLECTION: Collect eggs regularly
We recommend collecting eggs at least once daily for best results.

The ones we got last fall are fantastic. They are egg laying machines. Through winter 85 to 90 percent daily production!
Btw, those pullets you sold me are amazing! Those girls lay like nobody’s business. Incredible layers.
This batch of chickens is lovely! I really, really like them!
Just wanted to let you know I am very pleased with these pullets. I have never had a group that calmed down after the move like this group.
