28 weeks

BUT the next flock I had of other breeds I gave them CALF MANNA at 20 weeks and 10 days later I got eggs.

Protein Boost ( Calf Manna )

I am currently working towards having a dozen of each of my favorite breeds---- after hatching and brooding--my goal is to have 12 plus BO-WA-EE-Welsummer-Ancona

Mine are 27 weeks old (born 26 December) and still do not lay.  Recently I even supplement their diet a bit with canned fish, boiled yellow peas and other protein rich stuff, plus the usual Swiss chard and fruit and layer pellets.  They aren't fat.  They aren't skinny.  Their eyes and feathers are bright and shiny.  WHAT on earth am I doing wrong?!sad

22 weeks for my girls to start.  Well, for two to start. Another two started at 23 weeks, and the other two haven't yet.
