My male frizzle bantam started mating with my three silkies two days ago. I would like to know when will she might start laying eggs .
 
My frizzle bantam is about one year old and my silkies are about 14 months old
 
She should start anytime now.

We're glad to have you. Roosters often start breeding hens a few days to a week before the hen starts laying.

Depends on her age, health, whether she is molting, ect...Once she starts laying, the roo needs to mate with her for 2 weeks before the eggs are fertile. If you attempt to incubate before two weeks, they may not be fertile.

Good luck with your flock and enjoy BYC!
 
Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! If your silkies are 14 months old, also be sure they haven't been hiding eggs somewhere on you.
