moochoo Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 POL is usually 16-18 weeks and indicates a time of sexual maturity. I doesn't always mean that they'll lay. The usual time frame for hybrid hens to start laying is 20-24 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hens can actually start laying any time from POL up to about 40 weeks old . You just have to play the waiting game . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
