I mean silkies are cute... but some people!

Ah, I hardly ever get to use that one.

That (late laying) is typical of EEs, and in your case its being extended even more because of winter. My oldest EE did not lay until 9 months and that was in August. If she had been a spring chick I don't think I'd have gotten an egg out of her until she was at least a year old.

One of my Easter Eggers just started laying at 37 weeks! Worth the wait. She lays such pretty pale blue eggs!
