Easter chicken begins to lay!

[PacsMan7]

For you folks that bought chickens for Easter are you chickens laying? I have 2 of my 3 brown leghorns that have begun to lay! Finally . We are still waiting on the 7 others to start. The other breeds are Golden Comet, Red Sexlink, Barred Rock, Colombian Rock, Australorp, and Arucana.

How old are your birds, in weeks?
The EE I've had usually start by 20 weeks or so.

Most of those should be laying soon. The Australorps wont start until 24 to 26 weeks of age.

 

[PacsMan7]

Half of the flock are 21 weeks and the other half are 22 weeks old.

21 weeks and still waiting for my bantam Easter eggers

They are fast and hard to get good pictures of. A little skittish since I don’t get to spend much time in the backyard anymore.
