well, i believe one of my Brown Leghorns is FINALLY laying. shes got to be almost 8 months old. went in today and there were 2 more eggs then usual. I suspect one other hen is laying too....i want to set up a camera in there to find out who?!?!?!?!?

Wow! 8 months for a leghorn!

She was holding out lol, glad you got her first egg!

no kidding!!!

I've been waiting for a couple months now for some eggs. and I've been told they are such good layers! but, beggers can't be choosers! so, i'm happy one has started. I have 2 more leghorns that should start any day now. I think me letting a couple eggs set there in the nest, and letting them see they should be laying eggs too helped. was told that on another thread, that too let a couple eggs set there for a day and they would figure out what to do. hope it helped!

Agreed. I've only started to calm down a bit after my #2 started laying yesterday (2 so far) and my #1 on her 9th cackleberry today. My BA is holding out but it doesn't look like she has very long with sudden wattle development the past couple days (24 weeks).

wonder if it has anything to do with the moon, I got my 1st egg from my brahma yesterday too, at nearly 27 weeks.

Maybe

Either way I'm excited

I can't wait for my EE's to start (but I think one is a Roo) ... At least I'll know when they lay, lol...the others don't lay green or blue eggs.
