- W2182750201 abstract "which she renews annually by replacing chickens (typically six) that are no longer laying as well with the same number of younger chickens she raises herself. Her total number of birds at any given time is based on available area in the chicken coop, and culling is usually done in the fall of the hens’ second year of laying, when the total number of eggs produced begins to noticeably decline. When a Hen No Longer Lays According to Jay Rossier, author of Living with Chickens (The Lyons Press, 2004), young pullets begin to lay around 18 to 20 weeks of age and will lay continuously for approximately one year before the first molt, when chickens “shed” their old feathers, so new ones can grow. Hens typically stop laying during the molting period, which may last from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the bird. Once they resume laying, hens usually produce as many eggs during the second year as they did during the first year, but then are most often culled. Heidi is philosophical about the need to cull and kill hens that are past their prime to maintain a productive flock. She strongly believes that meat-eaters need to accept the responsibility that their diet is part of the natural cycle of life and death. Heidi admits that butchering chickens is not her favorite part of animal husbandry, but she appreciates the opportunity to humanely dispatch an animal that she has enjoyed getting to know as part of the hobby farm flock, knowing that it enjoyed a good life prior to slaughter." @default.
