Point-of-Lay Birds

• Point-of-Lay (POL) birds are pullets that are approaching the age when they begin laying eggs. This stage is one of the most critical milestones in egg production, as it marks the transition from rearing to active laying. The exact time birds begin laying depends largely on their parent stock genetics and the quality of brooding and rearing management. Under proper conditions, most point-of-lay hens are expected to commence egg production between 18 and 22 weeks of age.

  Purchasing point-of-lay birds early offers a significant advantage to poultry farmers. Early placement on your farm allows the hens to gradually adapt to your unique environment, feeding program, housing system, and management practices before peak production begins. This adaptation period is essential in reducing stress and promoting optimal laying performance once production starts.

  Our 12-week-old point-of-lay hens have completed all vaccinations required for their age. This gives farmers a strong head start, as the birds have already passed through the most delicate and demanding stages of brooding and early rearing. However, customers are advised to consult their veterinarian to complete the remaining age-appropriate vaccinations according to their farm’s health program.

  These birds are raised under highly conducive and strictly controlled conditions. Proper nutrition, vaccination schedules, biosecurity measures, and professional supervision are implemented throughout their development. This careful management ensures that the birds are healthy, uniform, and well-prepared to deliver strong egg production performance once introduced to your farm.

  Why Experts Recommend Point-of-Lay Birds

  Most poultry professionals strongly recommend that new farmers begin egg production with point-of-lay hens. The reason is simple: raising chicks from day-old requires technical expertise, constant monitoring, and careful disease management. By the time birds reach 16 weeks of age, they have already passed through the most challenging and high-risk stages of poultry rearing.

  At 16 weeks of age, point-of-lay hens have scaled through these difficult early phases under the supervision of experienced poultry professionals. This significantly reduces mortality risks and management stress for farmers, especially beginners. It provides peace of mind and allows farmers to focus on preparing for production rather than worrying about brooding challenges.

  Depending on farm management quality, feeding standards, housing, and biosecurity practices, we expect our point-of-lay hens to achieve over 50% egg production within 2 to 3 months after collection. With proper care and nutrition, production levels can rise to 80% or more within 4 to 5 months, ensuring strong returns on investment and sustainable egg output.

  Important Vaccination Information

  Please note that the 3-in-1 EDS vaccine is not administered to the 16-week-old layers. This decision is based on customer preference, as many farmers prefer to supervise the vaccination process themselves or have it administered by their trusted veterinarian. Customers who wish to pre-order birds and supervise the administration of the 3-in-1 EDS vaccine can request additional information for proper planning.
