i had 5 mutt oegbs they layed a egg about every day. mine didnt start to lay til they were 8 months old. one of my layed for 2 weeks and went broody. broke her and then 3 weeks later she went broody again.
hope this helps

Thank you! Were yours significantly aggressive? Iv read they can be but I'm hoping since they're growing up with docile breeds they will learn to be!

mine were never mean but they didnt want to be held. they were skittish, but would come running for treats. also i didnt have a rooster so i dont not know how they are. i ended up selling mine to make room for another breed i wanted. here are what mine looked like. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/743016/lower-price-5-old-english-game-bantam-hens also from what ive researched they are not good winter layers.

Hey, if they are oegbs mines have been decent layers when matured. As for aggressiveness don't put roosters together in a cage unless they were raised together, they're fine if the loser can run away lol hens should be ok but if they peck I would seperate them
