My 5 red sex-links started to lay last July between 17 1/2 and 19 weeks. The first month of laying, most eggs were small 1.5 to 1.7 oz 43 to 49 grams. The second month most were medium 1.75 to 1.95 oz 50 to 56 grams. Then they escalated to large, XL and jumbo. At 10 months old, my girls are laying mostly XL and jumbo. Today I got 4 XL and a jumbo. Yesterday I got 3 XL and 2 jumbo. My largest egg was 95 grams, 3.35 oz, a single yolk 2 inches across.

They are my first sex-links. From what I've read, they lay well up to their second molt, about 30 months for an early spring hatch. At this point in time, I plan to invite them to dinner around 28 months. Before their second molt. GC
