Can't wait until you post those pictures! My first Isbars didn't lay until 8-months old -- but then as I look back - they were relocated to new homes twice in those 8 months. My next set started younger - I would expect that you get your first eggs in the next couple of weeks or so. Be sure to show us.
I have two pulletes the same age. I found a rubber egg today. Unfortunately a hen got to it. Then managed to get 3 eggs down to the bottom of coop. But could not brake them thank goodness!!

Sounds like you will soon have some pretty green eggs! I look forward to seeing pictures.Yay! She's in the laying box!can't wait to see her first egg! She's never in laying box area . She looks confused like they all do when about to lay. Maybe she laid the rubber egg yesterday and not my barred rock . Who knows maybe they both are starting . They are 23-24 weeks.
She's been in and out of box 10-15 times. I'm watching through the window. Unfortunately the big girls are ready to lay. We have 5 boxes but we get the 2-3 hens on top of each other . I put a golf ball in each laying box for the 3 younger ones. Which threw my older EE into broodie. I've been trying to break the last two days. Yay! Its like Christmas in chicken landSounds like you will soon have some pretty green eggs! I look forward to seeing pictures.
Ok, she did it! I got my egg! It'sChristmas in chicken land! It's pretty big for her size! I can begin to describe what a beautiful green color plus speckles. Here is the picture doesn't do the egg any justice at all ! The other egg is my 2 yr old Barred rock. I can't imagine how big she will end up laying if it's this big already !
She's a 1/3 the size of BR !!
Congratulations! That is a beautiful green egg! If you think that is big for her size, just wait a while - you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Nice photos and beautiful egg! wow -- maybe you should breed Isbar instead of X's. My Isbar right now is out laying the rest...she's the champ.She's a 1/3 the size of BR !!poor girl! But I will love just looking at those eggs! She's already bigger then two game hens I have. Plus smaller then them as well !
I really have been thinking about selling a few hens and sticking with this breed. They are docile, small , eat less, great eggs! What more can you ask for?I can't wait to cross her with my CM! Olivia is still 6-8 weeks out.
