Hy-Line Brown Point of Lay Pullets

The Hy-Line Brown is an incredibly popular chicken choice with backyard chicken owners mainly because of their friendly nature, their large brown eggs and their economical feed consumption

They are the world’s most balanced egg layer, laying close to an egg a day for AT LEAST two years but they must eat a high protein feed to achieve this result. Our "Sure To Please" Layer Pellets with the ideal level of 16% protein is the perfect feed for laying birds. The Hy-Line Browns will lay after two years but you may notice they begin to lay less eggs after 3-4 years of ages

The Hy-Line Brown has a calm temperament, excellent feather retention, robust egg shells and persistent production, making them the perfect choice for free range environments

They are ideal for backyard environments, they're great pets and their quiet and placid nature makes them the ideal child-friendly chicken

You'll never need to shop for eggs again when you have Hy-Line Brown chickens in your own back yard
