"Point of lay" hens

[Araucaria]

Is there a French equivalent phrase for "point of lay" for hens?

For those that don't know, the English expression means young birds starting to lay for the first time.

Poules prêtes à pondre, I think. Ready to lay.

Bing translator tells me it's "point de relâche" [8-)] So, do they just 'lay' back and enjoy [8-)]

Why a Scotish brothel TP [blink]

I'll leave you to work the rest out [;-)]

We just bought a dozen hens eggs from a local farmer wot trades on a local roundabout and he chucked an extra 1/2 doz because they are small jobbies. All open air chooks too!!

pretes a pondre is used here, but take it with a pinch of salt. It could be tomorrow, or next year,or whenever they feel like it .

We have about 10 poules, and we're getting 6 eggs a day from them, a few weeks ago, one or two.
