Oh now I can't wait for the EE's to start laying! Mine are 20 weeks old this week. I was really hoping that they would maybe be early layers but no chance. The California Whites, barred rock, and silver laced wyandotte started laying at 16 weeks. Although I do have 1 white rock that is really just taking her time about things too. She is the same age as the older ones, 6 months, and nothing yet. Keep telling dd that she will make a nice Christmas lunch.
BTW they are getting artificial light since daytime is at best 10 hours here.
