Quote: The numbers that you find are for battery layers in Brittan. The CLs we have are what was left of the original backyard version. It was a rescue by Green Fire Farms and imported to the US. They are not the best layers but not the worst. CLs lay like heritage breeds here. Also, the numbers you see for laying eggs is with supplemental light and often with a forced molt.
The UofA Blues should lay more. Possibly a lot more. As with everything chicken, your mileage may vary.
If that is the case, in 5-6 months I hope you are still selling eggs because I will be in the market for some UofA blue egg layersi have legbars, amaraucanas, araucanas, and blue egg layers and so far the blue egg layers out lay the others with the lagbars next and the the amaraucanas and lastly the araucanas
Jim,In 5 to 6 months my chicks should be laying! Ours started laying at 4 1/2 months old. Most of us with these Blue egg layers have what can be considered hatch mates. They are from the same large breeding pen. Banjo, what ratio male:female do you have in your breeding pen? I know you hatched more of the original eggs than I did. We have 2 males with 3 females. Fertility is very high. So far 100%. Hatchability is a little lower, but every egg developed.

The one that started laying at 4 1/2 months was one we hatched. But the ones from you started a bit later.
