Organic poultry must be managed organically from the second day after hatching. There are sources of organic pullets, however, most of these grow the pullets for operations with 1000 or more layers. If you are starting a smaller organic poultry operation, it may be difficult to find organic pullets. Check with your regional certification agencies, State Departments of Agriculture, Extension Agents, and sustainable farming associations to find out if organic pullets are available in your region.
