We culled for the new layer flock and got really good results this year. They were hatched May 2nd, 2018. Tonight my husband found the first egg, resting on top of the nest box cover. We’ve been too busy to pull the board off to allow access to the nestboxes. Maybe tomorrow we will get to it.
Those big girls were sloughing off today, only 9 eggs for 18 birds! We had 13 for 18 yesterday, though.
