Is the same true for chickens who lay blue eggs?Maybe over the first few eggs,
but after that they are more likely to lighten as the season goes on.

I don't think so.Is the same true for chickens who lay blue eggs?
Thanks for the info! I have noticed that they are starting to go into the nest box and a couple of them seem to be getting more color in their combs and wattles. I don’t think the Sussex is close though and who knows about the Polish.Referring to original question. Nothing wrong can take up to 32 weeks to lay first eggs especially during winter season when not in lay till daylight comes back. Large breeds take longer to go into lay. They need all the physical features to mature and reach breed weight as well. You know they are ready when they start practicing nesting in the box two weeks prior to lay usually and have bright red combs and wattles.
My 3- 25 wks. old Welsummers aren't laying yet, but getting there. It's so hard to be patient. My 4 ISAs are all finally laying. The days are getting longer, so keep checking for that surprise.I have a couple different breeds 4 polish, 1 welsummer, 1 barred rock, 1 speckled sussex, and 1 chocolate orpington. I don't think any of my chickens are laying yet. I've heard Polish aren't good layers, but I expected at least my barred rock or sussex to lay by now. The chickens all seem to be eating and drinking well and acting normal. They are kept in a coop/run and I usually let them out for a few hours every day. The last two days I keep them in to make sure they weren't laying else where, but nothing. I switched them over to 16% layer feed a couple week ago. Should I be concerned?
Mine will be 32 weeks old on Monday... I keep hoping maybe one day lolMy 3- 25 wks. old Welsummers aren't laying yet, but getting there. It's so hard to be patient. My 4 ISAs are all finally laying. The days are getting longer, so keep checking for that surprise.
chickens don't lay in cold weather. you will get eggs in the spring. my chickens are same age. got mine may 7th and no eggs. however they are about ready to lay.
Within a couple weeks.My barred rock squatted today when I was in the coop. How long does it usually take for them to lay after that happens?
