When do Wyandottes generally start laying?

[marktoo]

Today being their birthday, these 4 ladies have been promoted from pullets to full fledged laying hens. & it's a fine fine job that they are doing, 23 eggs last week. That's a record for them!Keep up the good work Ladies!

My 3 Wyandottes are 26 and a half weeks old. Mine still show no signs of laying yet. Anyone tell me why some lay at 18 wks and others heaps later?

When did yours finally start laying? Mine is 26 weeks now and no signs of laying.

Mine started at about 30 weeks. At least they stop laying at a later age as well. I have 10 chooks, only 3 of them wyandottes and I can say they probably lay every other day as I get up to 9 a day, usually 7 or 8.

Mine are 21 weeks old and they squat , and still no eggs

They look so small, wow, I hope you get eggs sooner than I did but it still may be another 9 weeks!

Thanks! So, I guess it's not unusual for them to take longer to start laying. I only have 1 Wyandotte, but she is huge ... the biggest one in the flock. Her comb and wattles have been bright red for over a month. I haven't seen her squat, but I haven't seen any of my other 6 (Cream Legbar, light brown Leghorn, Ameracauna and Dominique) squat either and 5 are laying ... one is still too young.

My two SL Wyandottes are approaching 24 weeks old and nothing so far . Our white Leghorn and Red Sex Link both started laying almost two weeks ago. The RSL (Ginger) is about two weeks older than the others. we would really like 4 eggs a day

My GLW finally started laying at 30 weeks
