We have 6 Buff Orpingtons and a Buff Rock who was mistaken for an Orp at purchase. I was thinking they were only 20 weeks old but when I went back and looked at my records, I had forgotten to add in the fact that they were 5 weeks old when I got them, so they are actually 25 weeks old! The buff rock (Dwayne) laid her first egg yesterday and another today. I know it's her because she is keeping our turkey company in a separate coop/run from the orps. Half of the other girls have larger red combs/wattles, and they aren't putting up a fight when the rooster mounts them, but ever since I realized they are five weeks older than I was thinking, I'm feeling impatient!
I know it's hard waiting for them to start laying. My Buff "Daisy" just started laying last week at 25 weeks. Hang in there, the first egg is coming.
