Pullet care overview
Pullet care overview
No brooder needed: Started pullets are 12–16 weeks old and fully feathered, so they can go straight into a dry, draft-free coop.
Feed: Keep them on a grower feed until they start laying, then switch to a layer feed and offer oyster shell on the side.
Space: Plan on about 4 sq ft per bird inside the coop and 10 sq ft per bird in the run.
Adding to an existing flock: Keep new pullets in a separate pen for a couple of weeks where the flock can see them but not reach them, then introduce them gradually.
First eggs: Most pullets start laying within a few weeks to a couple of months after arrival, depending on breed, season and daylight.
