Oh, those eggs are so pretty! Found this thread searching for how much longer I have to wait on my 24-25 week old Wyandotte to begin laying - I'm glad to know I have something really pretty to look forward to when she finally decides it's time.

"The Golden Girls", My 3 GLW hens that hatched in mid April started laying for me last week. So I guess it was 23 weeks for my 1st egg experience w GLW. Gorgeous, friendly, calm birds. They've filled out well & remained healthier than most all other rarer breeds I picked up this year. Completely happy with them.
