Just to jump in out of curiosity....
I have a white frizzle. Do you find your white frizzles to take longer to start laying than other varieties?
My whites were the last to lay last spring. and that is the only data I have to answer teh question.

ten months old
I got her (and my other pullets) in March of last year from the feed store and I knew nothing about chickens!!! So I did everything wrong and I'm only just getting egg production up to what it should be for this time of year....
Oh, sorry. If you want to read my testament of woe (and happiness) with my chickens, I guess you'd read my thread. Anyway....
She's ten months old.
I think the cold is a little tougher on my two frizzles then the rest of the girls.
Okay. Thanks. =)Hmmm...hang in there. I have found the cold and short days is hard on the littles. First part of December we had a week of below zero weather and my two frizzles decided to hunker down and go broody to ward off the cold. Keep her on a good layer feed with a high protein and hopefully you'll get some bite sized eggs soon!!
do frizzles not get cold in the winter as their feathers can't function properly to keep a layer of warm air under their feathers?
Oh, okay. Thanks. =)It takes enough light each day as well as proper nutrition. to get birds to lay. It can take up to 6 weeks after the lights go on here before I start getting eggs.

Yaaaay! Red is good and mine always lay within the week of squatting.Oh, okay. Thanks. =)
Okay. Thanks.
I have a white frizzle who hasn't started laying and she's about ten months old.
Her comb and waddle just went red the other day, so I'm hoping for eggs soon, but I know she never started laying b/c I was changing their living arrangements too much for a long time around anyone's POL.
Sorry.
Thank you for the information!
I do think they have a little harder time. I was told frazzle (two copies of the frizzle gene) are not tolerant at all to cold weather. I have never had a frazzle so I can't directly speak for this.do frizzles not get cold in the winter as their feathers can't function properly to keep a layer of warm air under their feathers?
Sad to see some hatcheries and people breed them, I emailed a seller on Ebay and asked her if she had her frizzle roo and frizzle hen together, and she said yes. I explained to her they should not be bred together, but don't think she "got it". Guess if they don't have to deal with it, it is ok. So pathetic to watch and know the outcome.........
