KENYA · GUIDE 0052 · EDITION 4.2
Started pullet rearing in Kenya
Rear pullets to an honestly recorded age for layer farmers.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional pullet-rearing batch: 100 documented day-old layer chicks are reared to an illustrative 16-week handover review, with ninety accepted pullets provisionally booked by an egg producer. Sell actual age, identified type and disclosed management history, not guaranteed point-of-lay status. A buyer-approved sample weighing method and source record accompany the count. The 112-day budget window is an example; acceptance depends on actual condition and the proper strain-specific plan.
Who is the first customer?
