Dark Brown Egg Female Surplus: Heritage Pullets Ready for Your Flock

Are you ready to add deep, chocolate-brown eggs to your egg basket? Consequently, our Dark Brown Egg Female Surplus pullets are the perfect solution. These young hens are from our premier breeding flocks of heritage Dark Brown Egg Layers like the Black Copper Marans and French Wheaten Marans. Furthermore, they are healthy, vigorous, and quickly approaching laying age. Therefore, you get all the genetic potential for those prized dark eggs without the long wait from a chick.

What Are Female Surplus Pullets?

We meticulously manage our breeding programs to maintain the highest standards. As a result, we have a seasonal surplus of high-quality female chicks. Importantly, these pullets for sale are not culls; they are robust, purebred heritage breed chickens that simply don’t fit our specific breeding pens. We raise them with the same exceptional care as all our birds.

The Benefit of Started Pullets

Choosing started pullets for sale offers immense advantages. First, you bypass the most delicate brooding stage. Additionally, these birds are fully feathered and acclimated to an outdoor environment. Most importantly, they will begin laying their stunning dark brown eggs much sooner than day-old chicks. For more information on raising young hens, the University of Minnesota Extension offers a fantastic external resource on backyard poultry care.
