Yay! Isn't it great when they start laying? I love collecting eggs from them in the morning - still warm from being laid - and just take them into the house and crack straight into the frying pan!

The shells on these eggs are incredibly hard compared to store bought I noticed. It's hard not to get shells in the pan as well!

I know it late in the year but I live in Ga the reason for my post is I have RIR hatching eggs if any one is interested -please pm me.

I have a question and i hope its allowed ... how old should pullets be when they start producing eggs ???

Mine are currently 7 months old and still eggless !!

They should start to lay any time now. Generally 20 to 26 weeks more or less.

Thought as much ... Must be a bit slow like me hehe

Some of my pure RIR birds (Reese/Mohawk line) usually have taken 8 to 9 months before they started laying. They are 7 months old right now and they haven't started laying but my pure RIW's that are the same age as my pure RIR's have just started laying. Good luck and have fun...
