Egg laying Poll ( please check out!!!)

My leghorn started to lay at 20 weeks, 2 days. Over the next 6 weeks they all started to lay except for my Buff Orpington. She waited until she was 11 months old. Hard to predict when you will get eggs.

That is true. But I bet your getting a lot of eggs from those leghorns

I spent a while researching leg bar breeders, and ended up finding the best here on BYC. Every egg was blue, and he has done an incredible job with the color of eggs in his flock. Apparently in one of the Reese line imports there's some bloom in the genes that have led to a lot of green laying leg bars around.

I cannot believe the Opals aren't laying yet. Must have just been the timing of the sun. And at least they should start out laying bigger! One of the two I hatched is really growing a huge comb the last week or two, so it's GOT to be soon.
