When does a Barred Rock start laying eggs?

[lucymarcysally]

My Barred Rock is about 4 1/2 months old (I think) and just started laying eggs last week. My question is--how long does it take before she starts laying eggs on a regular basis? So far it's been real sporadic and she hasn't laid any eggs for 2 days.

Thanks,
Susan

Usually 2-4 weeks.

Thank you!

I love the picture of your horses; draft horses are just amazing. But I can't tell what the 3rd animal is; what is that one?

Thank you

That would be Hooch, former head of security (pit x great dane).

What a great security guard to have! He must be pretty special.

I have 6. Only 2 started laying regularly right away. The others only laid every couple of days at first. By 25 weeks old, they were all laying pretty regularly.

Thank you. I have an Easter Eggerthat might be laying next and then hopefully the wyandotte.
