In Stock
₦15,0000
Spent Layers are end-of-cycle commercial layer hens that have completed their productive laying period (typically 72 - 80 weeks of age). Rather than being a waste product, spent layers are a valuable secondary income stream for layer farmers. They are sold live or processed for meat into markets that serve soups, stews, and stock; categories where their fuller flavour is preferred. Spent layers represent one of the most affordable sources of poultry meat in Nigeria, making them popular in local markets, food processing, and restaurant supply. For buyers, they offer good meat at a lower cost per kilogram compared to broilers.
