I've been looking for a chart for the last few days but can't seem to find anything. I know some breeds tend to start laying earlier than others and am trying to find the average age of laying for the following breeds since I have a pullet pen of 11 week olds and want to be prepared for the onslaught of eggs, I have what I've been able to find so far in parenthesis next to them:
Black sex sink, black comet, black star, et.al. (14 to 18 weeks)
Gold laced wyanndotte (?)
Partridge rock (?)
Blue andalusian (24 to 28 weeks)
Black Australorp (18 to 24 weeks)
Buff Brama (18 to 24 weeks)
Silkies (24 to 30 weeks)
And since I will hopefully be setting dominique eggs here soon, those as well.
Do any of these numbers sound right to you? And again these are AVERAGES!!! Not really worried about when they actually start, just wanted to get a feel of these since I haven't had these as youngsters before
