My girls are now 17 weeks! I've been reading various info about when they start laying. Some are saying 20ish weeks, and others say not till 6 months. Just varies by bird I assume?

I have two Khaki Campbell females and they laid their first egg at exactly 20 weeks of age. Almost like they looked at the calendar entry I made the day they hatched. And, they have been giving me two eggs a day since. They are renowned for their egg laying capability and mine are living up to their reputation. It is about 24 weeks now and I am still waiting for the first Blue Swedish and Cayuga eggs so they may be more the 6 months ones.My girls are now 17 weeks!

Worry not. There is a difference between chicken eggs and Khaki eggs. The duck eggs are larger and will have a slight, what I call, dirty pattern. They are not a true white or a beige but sort of a grey/beige/white and have streaks of slightly darker color on them.COOL! I can't wait!! I have all kinds of new layers, chickens, and I'm afraid I won't know who's laying what. I need a critter cam
