    spring is often the best time to start raising laying hens, especially if you are in a temperate climate, as it gives the hens ample time to mature and produce eggs during the warmer months.

    Raising baby chicks has traditionally been a springtime activity but many chicken keepers consider chick season in winter too.

    Some breeds can lay eggs all year, but others stop during certain seasons.

    The best time to raise layer hens depends on a few factors, including climate, available resources, and your specific goals. However, generally speaking:

    1. Spring or Early Summer: This is often considered the ideal time to start raising layer hens. The weather is mild, which makes it easier for hens to adapt to their new environment. The days are longer, providing more daylight hours for the hens to lay eggs. Additionally, this timing allows the hens to build up their health and energy during the warm months before winter arrives.

    2. Avoid Winter: Starting in winter is more challenging due to cold temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and higher feed costs. Layer hens tend to lay fewer eggs in winter, and they require more attention to ensure they stay warm and healthy.

    If you want eggs within 2–4 weeks, you can buy a chicken that’s already at the “point of lay”. These chickens are usually 22–26 weeks old.

    The best time to raise a layer hen depends on whether you want eggs right away or want to wait for peak production
