15 week old pullet lays 1st eggs

[chcickendude]

15 weeks ago we purchased day old sexed reds from the local feed mill. The last two days we have been delivered 2 small eggs. Everything I read tells me that it is a month or so too early to begin seeing eggs.

Thoughts?

hmmm..are you sure they weren't a little older when you purchased them?? Congrats on getting eggs anyways!

Yes, they could be older than you think. otherwise they haven't read the books which tell them when they should start to lay,

My red sex-links (golden comets) turned 15 weeks old two days ago. I got the first egg from them today.
