7 month old Speckled Sussex???

[rileycassandra]

I have two speckled sussex that are 7 months old and they’re not laying yet. Ugh. My barred rock who is a month younger just started laying two weeks ago, but am I going to have to wait till spring or what???

Maybe. Looks like they have a bit to go before starting to lay.

Is that typical?? I really thought they would be laying by now.

If you had 20 Speckled Sussex pullets 7 months old, several would probably be laying by now but a few would not. Your two happen to be the ones that are not laying. Just the luck of the draw.

They may wait until spring to start laying, they may start laying any time before spring. With living animals you don't get guarantees.

That answer is the most logical lol.
