So far only my 2 red stars and 1 barred rock are laying. I have a gray polish, 2 australorps, 2 buff orpingtons, 2 easter eggers who haven't started laying yet. I'm wondering if they will even lay since winter is coming.
Still only one red star laying eggs since last Monday. Don't know if you can tell from this photo but eggs differ slightly in shade.
Waiting for the others to stop being deadbeat freeloaders . They are all 21 weeks 1 day old.
Right now they are all 20 weeks 5days old.
Only 1 of 2 red stars are laying and she has laid 1 small egg daily Mon, Tues, Wed, no egg Thurs, egg on Friday. My 2nd red star hasn't started laying nor have my other breed chickens.
Rae my red star laid an egg at exavtly 20 weeks -- the day after I gave the group oatmeal. no eggs from the other chicks though although they are the same ages. Other chicks are buff orpingtons, black Australorp, barred rock, easter egger, and one gray polish.
This morning as I was cleaning out the coop poop, I noticed one of my red stars my laying in one of the nest boxes. Found this gem by noon. Chicks are exactly 20 weeks old. Unfortunetly my mother promptly dropped it. my face as I saw the deed done. I was so looking forward to eating it too...
My barred rock is 18 weeks old and I'm on eggwatch daily. Her face/comb/wattle are much redder than her sisters (buff Orpington, easter egger, black Australorp, red star). So hopefully we'll have eggs soon!
