Does anyone have EE's who are laying at or before 23 weeks?

My wyandottes began at 21.5 weeks and 22 weeks- still waiting for the EE's - just wondered if they are slower or if it's just mine?

Since they are EEs, they are mixes, so depending on what breeds were used to make them, it may take them longer or less time to start laying...one of mine from this year is a wyandotte cross, and she started laying already at 19 weeks, but the other one is 22 weeks and not laying yet...unfortunately with EEs there are no standard answers...

I have 4 EEs. One started laying at 21 weeks, one at 22 weeks and now at 24+ weeks I am still waiting for the other two to lay.

We have two EE's born on April 1st. One has been laying since Sept 5th, still waiting on the other.

I have 3 EE's. The first started laying right at 21 weeks old - pinkish tan egg!

The second at exactly 22 weeks (last week) & a pretty dark olive, YAY!!

23.5 weeks now & waiting on the third one..and hoping she's a blue egger

Mercedes laid at 21ish weeks iirc.... her sisters didnt till the following week.

Been a long time...like 4 years!

My girls are 24 weeks old and still haven't laid the first egg... Their combs are tiny and very pale..I have NO idea how to tell when a EE is ready to lay..

I know what you mean dixiedoodle- the combs are so small and I can't see the wattles because they are under their muffs! They are getting huge though - bigger than the wyandottes of the same age. I have seen them up in the nest scratching the hay/straw around but nothing yet...
StacyK- we'd love to see your olive green and pinkish eggs
