It's December and my 7 month old light Brahma and EE have not started laying eggs yet. Can I blame this on slowly maturing chickens or short winter days? My good friend adopted a Brahma and EE from the same batch and has been getting eggs for a month or two...hmmm...Thanks in advance!
Both. Shorter winter days can delay them starting laying. I'm still waiting on a 9 month old barnevelder. Brahma's are a slow developing breed. Your EE is probably just a little slower than most. They all mature at their own rates.
ITA with above statements... I have 4 and only 1 is laying they are 6.5mths old... i know it'll happen when the others are ready!
