I'm wondering if I have breeds that take longer to mature, and that's why they aren't laying yet. They were hatched in the beginning of May and here it is October and nobody's laying yet. They are blue andalusian and buttercups. Are these breeds that typically are slower to mature? They don't seem to be as big as they should be, and are certainly much smaller than my other hens. Should I not expect eggs until the spring?
