A fun questionnaire:

- What breeds do you have?
- When did they begin laying?

I have:

- Approximately 9 month old Large Fowl Cochin (very large!): no eggs yet.

- 5 month old Silkie: no eggs yet.

- Approximately 6 month old Olive Egger: no eggs yet.

- Approximately 6 month old buff Ameracauna: no eggs yet.

- Approximately 6 month old black Ameracauna: no eggs yet.

- Approximately 6 month old splash Ameracauna: no eggs yet.

As you might imagine, I’m eagerly checking nest boxes daily!
 
Easter Eggers, Ameraucanas or larger fowl are later to mature which is the reason why they commence egg production so late.
This is the age my breeds started.

Australorp: 4.5 months
White Plymouth Rock: 5 months
Red Sex Link: 5 months
Black Copper Marans: 5 months
Brahma: 6 months
Easter Egger: 6 months
Barred Plymouth Rock: 6 months
Buff Orpington: 6 months
Brahma: 7 months
Production Reds: 8 months
Delaware: 9 months
Barred Plymouth Rock: 9 months
