we have 22wks and 18wks. Half the 22wkers are laying.I have EEs, production reds, Polish, silkies, dominites and a few barnyard mixes all right at 5 1/2-6 months old. I have younger birds but they won't lay until spring.
I didn't think the nonlayers wouldn't lay at all till spring:/ I heard they all lay the 1st winter then molt the 2nd yr.
