I have two Brabanters, one Blue Cochin and one Partridge Cochin... all 26 week old pullets. Anxiously awaiting an egg! Does anyone know if these breeds take longer to lay? Thank you!!

Ruckus, gotta love it, my rooster does so much crowing when one of the girls is about to lay I about go deaf if I stay in there.Well, all the ruckus is how I caught her! Lol! I ran downstairs the minute I heard them and ran to the coop. Voila! There she was, still setting there! My girls free range the yard, and she was the only one in the hutch at the time, so she was an easy catch.
We'll it's my RIR I caught her today but out if curiosity what color do BSLs lay?
Congrats!both of my white rocks started laying today!! I was saying "there better be an egg in here" as I opened the nest box and there they were! One egg in each box!! I'm ecstatic!!
We have 3 girls and got our first egg yesterday (could have been the day before since I didn't check the nesting boxes since I thought we were never going to get eggs, then we got our second one today. They are beautiful light brown in color, and much smaller than I anticipated. I'm guessing it was the langshan since she will lay 'medium" size eggs. We have either an Americauna or an easter egger (not sure which she is) that will also lay medium sized eggs but I think hers will be blue or green. The only other option would be our buff orphington but she will lay large eggs and both these are smaller than I'd picture a large egg being.
Disappointed at the fact that the eggs were smaller than I anticipated, but still excited!
