Hey BJ, I think you meant to quote Mehera

You're right, highlighted the wrong part.

My turn soon.
My GLW, RIR and red pullet are 17 weeks today. So my waiting starts now.

My pullets are almost 23 weeks old now. I am getting eggs from 4 of them (there are 12 pullets total, then I have a rooster and 2 older hens.) One of the old hens is also laying every day so I'm getting 3-5 eggs per day. So that's still a whole lotta pullets not laying any eggs at 23 weeks.....the others may not start for another couple weeks to a month or more.

I am just thrilled that I'm getting a blue, green, white, and brown egg. I like the variety!

These were yesterday's eggs.

My girls are 18 weeks old today. Someone gave me a beautiful brown egg on Saturday in the run. Yesterday I got another prize in the coop. Today my fingers are crossed that I'll get one in a nest box. I can't be sure who my big girl is, but one of my Isa Browns, Mert, has been in and out of the nest boxes, and a little clingy lately. I have 5 hens, 3 Isa Browns and 2 Black Sex-links. Only one is laying so far...I think.

Pretty eggs RaeRae2! I'm getting blue from my Xena and white from Daisy right now, they are so cute! I drained a couple to save as christmas ornaments, but now I'm thinking of doing a few more as ornament gifts! LOL, and everyone will remember crazy chicken lady! Still waiting on brawn eggs fro the RIR and BR

Haha! Thanks, BJ! It's a good thing they have some redeeming qualities....

I got my first egg!...... 5 days ago... Since then, NOTHING! These hens are sadistic!

My oldest 2 pullets are 19 weeks today and Queenie did the squat!!!

I have three 20 week-old (I think?) hens that were hatched on March 9. There is a barred rock, a partridge cochin, and an Easter egger. I, also, am waiting (not so patiently) for eggs. When should I expect eggs??? They eat Flock Raiser, Scratch, and Layer.
Waiting for eggs is so, so...um, HARD!!!!!

This is my first time raising chickens since I was a kid 30+ years ago but from what I've been reading we should start getting eggs soon! 24 weeks is average I think for heritage breeds, but I really hope my 19wk barred rocks are earlier. Good luck - hope it's soon!
