I got 9/9 I also took in 5 18 month olds from my mother's mother, they are molting though so no eggs from them yet

How old are they, have they layed before several breeds do not lay daily

They are young. Oldest is a year youngest 6 months or so. There are other factors that are weighing in. The big EE is molting so I dont expect her to lay. They were terrorized by a mink a couple of weeks ago (dealt with that) and they had only been with me a week before that. So between the move and the predator I knew that would stop them laying for a bit. I'm just hoping i dont have to wait until spring. And two are bantams and one is a svart hona. I dont know what to expect from them as I've only had production reds before the person I bought them from told me the colour eggs they all lay so I assuming they were laying previous to my owning them

Awww the poor things! Hopefully you'll get an egg soon - although I imagine the days are pretty short already for you so may be after the solstice now Welcome to the thread btw

That is fab

Brilliant!

I had 5/6 but one was another fairy fart egg - getting a bit worried tbh as I've probably had about 8 of them over the last month or so. I hope there isn't a problem with one of my girls - if there is I'm thinking one of the 'layers' (red or black).

Many of us can tell what color eggs a bird will lay based on parentage

hmm..well the person I bought them off of had bred them herself so perhaps they aren't laying...maybe I will have a long wait one is a black bantam orp, a bantam barred EE and then the big EE..but she is the molting one. the bigun is a year old. I think the other pullets are about 6 months old
