What's the average age of hens to lay eggs does it depend on breed? I've never had Dominique's before and don't know if it's any different than those island reds,and my Dominique's were born last November
Me and my mom argue how you can tell if a hen can lay an egg I always thought it was based on age, but she thinks because they are so big they should be laying.
Note:they still have 2-3 months before thee old enough to lay

Well I seen them doing it and thought they were fighting and knew they weren't.and I've already hatched 2 Rhode Island Red minis by their mama last summer and that was awesome.but I got these when they were babies and they are massive. But thanks!!
I've had chickens for a while and seen my rooster mounting one of the hens he's with, but they are not old enough to lay they still have 2 months before they lay eggs,so can they still mate if so is the sperm stored?
