First year with chickens

[Junebug80]

Hi all! Chicken newbie here I have started out my flock with 16 pullets (light brahams, Isa browns, and silver & golden laced wyandotte). Looking forward to raising these beautiful girls, and learning all I can to provide them a healthy, happy home! So glad to be a part of this group, as I've already learned a ton from all the great articles and forums.

Thanks! Before getting my chicks, I did a little research on breeds and isa browns were not a breed I was interested in; however, after talking to a few people they were highly recommended. So far so good! They are always the first to come up to me when I enter their yard. About how old will they be when they start laying?

You're Isa Browns should start laying at about 20-22 weeks old.
