TYPES OF POULTRY FARMS
Breeder Hen Farm - is a poultry operation that is primarily involved in
egg production. Generally, a farm will receive pullets (young hens) when
the pullets are approximately 20 to 22 weeks old. These hens will remain
on the farm and in egg production for approximately 43 to 46 continious
weeks at the end of which time they will be picked up and taken to
slaughter. The farm will then have an "out-time" (no chickens) for
approximately three to six weeks. This time is used for poultry house
clean up and maintenance. Then the process is repeated. Pay for breeder
hen farms is generally done on an egg production basis.

when they are picked up and taken to a breeder hen farm. The farm will
typically have "out-time" (no chickens) of approximately ten to fourteen
days to have any maintenance or clean out done. Then the process is
repeated. Pay on a pullet farm is unsally done an a per square foot basis.
