Want To Have Your Own Farm Fresh Eggs?

One of the benefits of raising your own hens is that you can choose the breed that best suits your needs. Some breeds are known for their egg-laying abilities, while others are better suited for meat production. We choose all of our baby chicks based on egg production, so you can be confident in their future laying ability.

We plan to raise laying hens twice a year (Spring hatching and Fall hatching).

Laying Age – $20

These hens are 3-4 months old so they should start laying smaller eggs every couple of days just before month 5 but over time they will grow into large eggs, almost daily!

On average, hens begin to lay eggs anywhere between 4-6 months old and continue to lay eggs for over 5 years. However, their peak egg production is during their first 2 years.  So although you may notice a slowing down of egg laying around that 2 year mark, happy and healthy chickens will still produce for your family for years to come.

From experience, we’ve found that it is better for your hens to be relocated to their new homes by the 4 month mark, so that by the time they start laying they are already in their permanent setup with coop, run & nesting box.  This absolutely helps prevent any bad laying habits from the start – especially if you have a particular setup that you want them to learn early.
