4-Week-Old Pullets – Healthy, Well-Vaccinated Growers for Profitable Egg Production

Strong Foundation for High-Performing Layer Birds

4-Week-Old Pullets are young female chickens carefully raised to ensure strong immunity, rapid growth, and excellent future egg-laying potential. At four weeks of age, pullets are past the most delicate brooding stage and are already developing the body structure and health needed for successful transition into the grower and layer phases. Purchasing healthy 4-week-old pullets gives poultry farmers a reliable head start, reduces early mortality risks, and shortens the time to point of lay.

These pullets are ideal for commercial poultry farms, smallholder operations, and backyard poultry keepers seeking strong, uniform birds that will mature into high-yielding layers with excellent feed efficiency and disease resistance.

Why Choose 4-Week-Old Pullets?

Starting with 4-week-old pullets offers significant advantages over day-old chicks:

• Lower early-stage mortality risk

• Reduced brooding and heating costs

• Stronger immune system development

• Easier management and handling

• Faster transition to the grower phase

At four weeks, pullets are fully feathered, active, and able to regulate body temperature more effectively, making them more resilient to environmental changes.

Breed Quality & Genetic Potential

Our 4-week-old pullets are sourced from reputable hatcheries and selected from proven layer strains known for:

• High egg production

• Good shell quality

• Strong feed conversion ratio

• Adaptability to tropical climates

These pullets are suitable for both deep litter and battery cage systems, making them versatile for different production setups.

Health Status & Management

🩺 Health & Welfare

Each batch of 4-week-old pullets is raised under strict biosecurity and management protocols to ensure:

• Strong immunity development

• Uniform body weight

• Bright eyes and active behavior

• Clean vents and healthy feathers

Birds are monitored daily to detect and address health issues early.

💉 Vaccination & Medication Program

By 4 weeks of age, pullets typically have received essential early-life vaccinations, which may include:

• Newcastle Disease (Lasota)

• Infectious Bursal Disease (Gumboro)

• Other routine early vaccines, as recommended by veterinarians

This early vaccination foundation helps protect birds against common poultry diseases and supports healthy growth during the critical grower stage.

(Actual vaccination schedule may vary slightly by hatchery and should always be confirmed at the point of purchase.)

Feeding & Nutrition at 4 Weeks

At four weeks, pullets are transitioning from chick starter to grower feed, formulated to support:

• Skeletal development

• Muscle growth

• Immune strength

• Efficient feed utilization

Balanced nutrition at this stage ensures birds develop the body frame required for optimal egg production later in life.

Ideal Uses for 4-Week-Old Pullets

4-week-old pullets are suitable for:

• Commercial layer farms

• Small-scale poultry producers

• Agricultural training institutions

• Poultry resellers and distributors

They are especially recommended for farmers who want to avoid the intensive brooding stage while still maintaining control over the grower and layer management phases.

Housing & Environmental Requirements

To ensure optimal growth and survival:

• Provide well-ventilated housing

• Maintain clean, dry litter

• Ensure adequate space per bird

• Supply clean drinking water at all times

• Use proper lighting programs

Good housing and management during the grower phase directly influence final laying performance.

Growth & Performance Expectations

With proper management, 4-week-old pullets will:

• Show steady weight gain

• Develop strong skeletal frames

• Transition smoothly into the grower phase

• Reach the point of lay at 18–20 weeks

Healthy growth at this stage leads to improved egg numbers, larger egg size, and longer laying cycles.

Biosecurity & Farm Safety

Maintaining biosecurity is critical after introducing new pullets:

• Quarantine new birds if possible

• Limit visitor access to poultry houses

• Disinfect equipment and footwear

• Follow recommended vaccination schedules

These practices reduce disease risk and protect your investment.

Packaging, Transport & Delivery

4-week-old pullets are carefully handled and transported to minimize stress:

• Well-ventilated transport crates

• Minimal handling during loading

• Timely delivery to reduce transport fatigue

This ensures birds arrive active, healthy, and ready to adapt to their new environment.
