What age do chickens lay?? - Page 3

post #21 of 25
My Americana (or EE?) just started laying last week at 10.5 months. No kidding.

Most of mine lay at 4-6 months, but they don't lay at all in the summer, so if their maturity time hits the hot months, it will get delayed until it cools off.

Still waiting for my girls to lay.  They are Leghorns about 14 weeks old.  I've watched them grow and am amazed how fast they grow.  The difference in their voices is funny also.  When they were little they would peep, now it's like a scream.  A few cluck more like I thought they would.  From what I've been reading I should have a steady supply of eggs by June.  There is no winter here to speak of or to be too cold for the girls.

Mine are still not laying.  They will be 6 month in the beginning of June.  I see that the heat can delay their laying, so we've added some shade cloth over their enclosure to keep them cooler.  It literally knocks off about 10*F.  Does anyone know if this is a problem or will help them.
