When do Buff Orpingtons start laying?
- Thread starter bufforp89
- Start date
Out of 8 Buff Orpingtons, I had one lay at about 23 weeks, she was bigger than the rest. All her sisters started about 4 weeks later

We have 5 buffs that are not laying at 22.5 weeks old. One of our black sex links (the same age)started a few days ago and we have a white leghorn that has laid 11 eggs in 12 days, she started around 20 weeks. The buffs still do not have the red comb or waddles yet. Hopefully something from them soon.
Don't worry, buffs seem to be late bloomers. Once they get going, you won't know what to do with all the eggs! I have 6 and I get 4 or 5 eggs a day. Mine didn't start laying until about 27 weeks

My 3 buffs aren't laying yet either. They are 24 weeks. My 3 RI Reds have been laying for 3-4 weeks now. I hope they start to lay before winter.
The Buffs are supposed to lay LONGER than other breeds. Don't forget the longest laying hen in history was a Buff Orpington at 17 years old!!!
I have 2 Orpintons and 1 RIR girls that aren't laying yet. They are supervised free ranged, very supervised due to predators. So I know they aren't sneaking off somewhere. I keep looking. They are 6 1/2 months old. ??
Our two Buff Orpingtons were the last to lay. They were between 24 -28 weeks before they began laying.

What time of day do BO's lay there eggs? My Ladies just laid there first eggs I HAve 4 And HaAve gotten 5 eggs i think one is laying a lot. They have been making a lot of noise for 3 days please help!!!!!!!
My girls started laying mid-afternoon, later and later everyday, then started laying in the early morning, getting later . I think they lay something like every 28 hours, so it's always changing. It'll change as the light does in winter also.What time of day do BO's lay there eggs? My Ladies just laid there first eggs I HAve 4 And HaAve gotten 5 eggs i think one is laying a lot.
