    Is it to early to guess a gender?

    They say Chickens start laying at 2o-24 weeks, I am still waiting for my Americauna's to lay eggs and they are the same age. Plus, I also put it down to the changing season,(Fall) less light and cooler conditions maybe. Out of four hens I get one day egg a day
