Chicken_man 1,651 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi, If you got them now, they would be settled in better ready for laying. Accustomed to new surroundings and feed etc. Others may have different ideas. Depends on you really. Atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Nope all what chicken man said 100% spot on. Get them now they'll be happy and confident, you'll have eggs quicker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevo79 569 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Get them now!birds Hatched after May never grow as well in my opinion they get less day light hours. People are hatching chicks all year now which I think is wrong the birds never grow well. Best of luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
