Got our first egg the other day! I was pleasantly surprised when I found it considering my girls (RSLs) are only a little over four months old. I think I can tell which hen laid it based off of her behavior. Since then she skipped a day- but for the past 4 days she's been leaving us an egg!
I'm curious as to when my other girls will start laying since they are all the same age. Is it true that when one from a flock lays that the others usually follow suit and start laying shortly after the first?
Also, after the first egg do you usually consistently get an egg from the hen everyday after? Or does it depend?
Lastly, I was told to switch to layer feed when my girls start laying- should I wait until they all start laying to switch over?
Any comments, suggestions and answers are welcome!
Thanks
