Your gals are super pretty and congrats on the big first eggs!

I have just one Columbian Wyandotte, my first, and she is about the same age as yours. She is as big as my mature Barred Rock hens but doesn't seem ready to lay. Our days are getting short so she may wait for spring. As a chick, my CW has been flighty compared to other breeds, but she has now settled down and has been unaggressive to other birds. The Columbian pattern is stunning -- really quite beautiful.

Anyone . . . are they good winter layers (beyond first year)? Henderson's chart shows them as a winter layer.

 

[NanaKat]

Yes, my CW are great winter layers. After their molt, egg production returns. I get 3 to 5 eggs a week from each hen...11 hens...I average 3.5 dozen a week from their breed pen.
