My Jerseys were between 6-7 months before they started laying.. I love this breed, I have 6 and as of last week each of them has now went broody

My 5-month-old Jersey Giant hen just started to lay eggs. I was surprised because I thought it would be more towards 10 or 11 months. I heard that her waddle would get brighter red right before she lays and you can tell by the picture it did. She layed one yesterday for the first time and then again today! I wasn't expecting that either. lol

10-11 months?!
My chickens lay in half that time, around 20-30 weeks.

I had heard that because they take 2 years to mature that they start laying later. They're slow to mature, this breed. They get their height the first year and then they bulk up the second year. She is a hatchery chicken and not from a breeder so maybe that makes a difference.

I meant to say my jersey giant. She was one of our first layers.

In doing some research online if you buy them from a hatchery they tend to lay sooner it says.
