Our family lives in North Florida and is new to chicken raising. We have three chickens that are 38 1/2 weeks old. They are in a very nice pen with all the amenities a chicken would want. Two of the chickens, one Wyandotte and one Rhode Island Red, have been laying for some time now. The Buff Orphington has yet to lay. She seems to be attached to the Wyandotte when she lays. Always standing guard right at the nesting box when she lays. Could she still lay after 38 1/2 weeks old?

Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

Some breeds take longer to lay. I have heard of 60 weeks for some.

Chickens are light sensitive and it is low light time in the Northern Hemisphere. Your girl will likely start laying right at the winter solstice or a week or two after that.
