Our chicks were hatched in early May and early June. I got my first egg the first week of January. My second hen started last week. So out of 14 hens we're at 34 weeks for first egg and as the others start laying they will be older than that.
Reading on here last summer I was prepared by 18 weeks to start seeing eggs because of other's early layers. Not the case here.
We live in WA so the winters are very limited with light. But after not using any artificial light and kind of giving up on any winter eggs I do believe that they will lay when they lay. I have 2 laying and 3 more squatting out of the 14 so everyday will get closer to more eggs!
34 weeks? What breed is that?
