I have 15 pullets that are 10 weeks old as of yesterday, and am wondering if the weather stays mild like it is and light output around the 15 hours mark when I should start seeing eggs, and also when should I start putting straw or something in the nesting boxes for them?
The flock is 4 RIR, 4 austrolorpes, 3 barred rocks, 2 buff orps, and 2 ameraucanas. I've read the rocks and aussies can lay as early as 16 weeks which puts us basically to the first week of October realistically. They're all developing very nicely so far and looking good regardless. Was hoping to get a few eggs just before it starts getting cold in November so I at least have a few chickens laying through the winter but we'll see obviously
