I think my pullets are 20 and 21 weeks. Fingers crossed they will start laying soon.....

What breed are they? The Cinnamon Queen is a hybrid so they start laying sooner than a heritage breed will and lay more eggs.

I have 2 hens that are still laying some are molting, some have been sick in the past so they get a free room and board because they are my pets.

you know, they're the Sprights, the Spitzhauben-Sebright cross. And there are 2 Spitzhauben pullets in there too ....
I have had May hatched chicks before that didn't lay before spring because the days got too short before they reached point of lay.

I didn't know if you had some other birds as well. They sure are pretty birds!

My Cinnamon Queens hatched on April 29th. Oddly my Rhode Island Reds hatched on August 16 2017 and the day before Christmas I found 5 eggs. The first egg was found in a bucket of gravel on December 20th.

I know the Iowa Blues are laying maybe some of the Swedish Flowers too. There are 99 pullets in this pen. Well 91 now, I culled out 8 yesterday.

Hi all. I wanted to introduce myself to the Missouri crowd. Im in rural Cass county which is south of Kansas City. I am fairly new to poultry. I currently have 18 ducks (if it were up to my wife we would at least double that number )of different breeds and one Enbden goose. Is anyone else here anywhere near Cleveland, Mo?

@ajohn151 welcome to the Missouri thread!

I'm in Swamp East Missouri so not near you.
