Blue Andalusians and laying frequency?

[punkin]

I have read that Blue Andalusians are medium egglayers (3 per week). Both of my Blues (who just started laying 6 days ago) have given me 5 eggs. Good girls.

Should I expect this frequency or is it because they just started laying?

I have 4 Andalusian pullets that just started laying, too. They've been laying for a month or so. One lays like crazy! Six to seven eggs per week. The other 3 lay well, too. Five to six eggs per week.

Of course, I don't yet know how they'll lay when they get older...

May I ask how old both of your andalusians are? Mine are 25 weeks and still haven't started laying.

Mine are 24 weeks old. Two started laying at 20 weeks, and the other 2 at 21 weeks.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I need to have a serious chat w/ those girls.

I'm not exactly sure. We got them at the end of June and the guy said they were hatched in February.

Oh, and each one laid again today.
