RECOMMENDED BREEDING AGE
Though chickens can mate at an early age, you can start breeding them at 9 to 10 months. This is because we would like them to be physically and sexually mature before we use them a breeders. A pullet can lay as early as 5 months of age, but usually, the eggs she produced are very small and are not ideal for fertilization and incubation. Give them enough time to develop and be prepared.
