Hens molting, so not laying...BUT, their daughters???

[akcskye]

Is it too late in the season for my June hatched girls to lay?

I don't mind waiting 'til Spring...I did with my current ladies...but I didn't know if laying year round was something they did or not.

Any thoughts?

Depends on what kind of pullets you are raising....I have had light brahmas..buff orps...rirs...hatched in March or April lay thru the winter...I have some pullets hatched in late May that haven't even thought of giving me eggs yet...time will tell....my older girls have just gone thru a terrible molt so hoping for acouple more eggs during the winter....

The pullets are all 1/2 BO, and then either 1/2 RIR, SLW, or Australorp...we can't really tell who parented who...and I'm supposing we didn't get a Brahma mix because none have feathered feet.

Mine are black, red and golden sexlinks and they were born in May and have been laying for about 6 weeks now. So I would think its possible. My RIR mixes layed first.
