Started pullets are a wonderful option if you want eggs soon, but don't have the time or setup for brooding tiny chicks. Our started organic pullets in Florida are young hens that have done all the fragile growing already and are just about ready to lay - or have just begun.

Here at Charlie's Chicks & Layers in Floral City, we raise these girls on a natural, GMO-free diet with plenty of fresh greens and on-site calcium, so they grow slow, strong, and steady. By the time you pick them up, they're well-feathered, accustomed to our Central Florida climate, and ready to transition smoothly into your coop.

For folks in Citrus County who want eggs quickly, our ready-to-lay started pullets are pulled from our high-production lines. These are the same genetics we use in our best laying flocks - hens that are known for consistent, high-volume egg production without sacrificing temperament.

We also offer fibro genetic starter pullets in Florida for those who love a bit of drama in the coop. These unique young hens show rare fibro traits: deep pigment in skin and features that make them stand out in any flock. They're excellent for breeding programs, exhibition, or branding your farm with a more unusual look, while still being steady layers.

Because they're raised on a natural diet, our young hens from Floral City handle the move to a new home well and tend to be less fragile than shipped or mass-produced birds. If you're aiming for exhibition-ready pullets in Florida, let us know - many of our birds are suitable for show, and we'll help you select individuals with the structure and temperament you're after. Bring us your egg and show goals, and we'll match you with started pullets that get you there faster, with far less guesswork.
