I have 7 Delawares and 2 EE's, all are 8 months old and just hitting their stride as layers.  They started laying sporatically at 6 months old in the middle of winter and for the last 3 weeks I've gotten 6-8 eggs a day without extra lighting. Haven't seen any aggressiveness towards the EE's.  The Del's are curious, friendly, easy to catch, even for my two year old son.  They follow me in the house if I leave the door open.  They have gotten a bit demanding when they expect treats--they mug the dogs for dog food ( is that recommended layer diet?)
