One of my cuckoo marans started laying eggs on the 19 week and has not stopped. She gives me an egg everyday but are small eggs. Then my black copper maran started laying eggs at exactly 20 weeks old and she also has giving me an egg every day these two usually lay between 8:00 am and 10:00. My EE started at 21 weeks old which is last week and she has been pretty good except she is laying around 5 or 6 pm. weird.I am curious as to what time of day do chickens lay their eggs. And once they do start laying is the time of day fairly consistent. My girls are 23 weeks this week, looking foward to my first egg.
