Australorps eggs

[Lauraadriana66]

Hello! I’m getting anxious since were entering week 21. I would like to hear your experiences with a australorps. When did you get the first egg? I go every morning to check, but I’m pretty sure I will know when they have laid their egg. I remember well back when growing up we had chickens. Here’s a picture of the ladies.

If you're in the northern hemisphere, you're not likely to get eggs until early February when day light increases.
Egg cycles are light driven

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm at week 22. I need Mushroom to start laying. She goes in the nest box every morning at 9:05 to trash the place. I'm practically catching the eggs from Ginger's behind so Mushroom doesn't destroy them.

I NEED THAT SWITCH TO FLIP!

I have two 27 week old pullets that have yet to do squat so, I'm in the same boat.

Oh no! What breeds?

I will miss ours limbo-ing away from squat checks. Laura, how are you liking your Australorps?

Two years ago, I got chicks in June. My Blue Australorps laid that November, around 23-24 weeks.

When I got Australorp chicks 3 years ago in March, they started laying in August, at 19-20 weeks.

I got Bielefelder and Australorp chicks in May this year. Still waiting, at 23 weeks...
