How much longer do y’all think before she can lay eggs?

[Jubair00511]

I got her when she was idk big enough to sit on my palm but still sounded like a chick, she sounds like a hen now and is a lot bigger but I don’t think she’s reached her potential size yet. I feed her insects, live fish, rice and sometimes bread. The breed I’m pretty sure is Black Australorp
She’s very friendly likes to follow people and sit on their laps

Is she your only one? If so, she needs a friend or two.

For the egg laying question: How long have you had her for (like in months or weeks) depending on the breed and individual, they can start laying anywhere from I would say 4 months to 10 months so a big range I know, but usually it’s around 5-6months! Waiting is so hard! I’m still waiting for some of my girls to start laying and they’re almost 7 months

She is still a long ways away from laying, and she is no where near full size. Things to look for is a bright red comb and wattle. About 4 weeks after they redden up, there is usually eggs. Also, she will squat down when you come near, if you don't have a rooster.

That chicken isn't but about half grown. You still got aways before eggs.

And birds are social animals, You need to get more than one.
