Which breed first

[Nodakj]

M pullets were all hatched August 1st. Which ones will start laying first ?

1. Black Australorps
2. Buff Orpingtons
3. Light Brahmas
These are my first chickens so i have no experience with this. I know they are seemingly all heathy. But i am guessing which ever starts the same breeds will also start ? Let me know what your experiences are with these breeds please.

I’ve had all 3 breeds and ima say it’s toss up between 1 & 2. They’re basically the same bird.

Temperment wise the buffs are much more friendly and curious. Any time i am in the coop they are the ones always underfoot. I have heard the australorps are derived from the orpingtons.

Depends on the line and the individual birds, but Australorps are known for early maturity.

If you had 100 birds, then the probability would be the #1, 2, 3 that you gave.

But with just a few birds, you really cannot depend on probability, because then it is more based on the individual birds, not the average trend.

I am waiting too, right now, I just wish SOMEONE would lay an egg, maybe the rest would get the idea.
