How often does your sex link lay?

[All about the EGG]

Mine blast them out as well...large ones. Every now and then we get a Frankenstein egg (huge)

Wow.. Im soooo jealous! We have 2 Black Sex Links and 4 Red Sex Links who are now 26 weeks old and NO.. yes i said NO eggs yet. They get Layena pellets, plenty of water, free range about 1.5 - 2 hrs a day and have plenty of coop and run room. What am I doing wrong??? lol

 

[what was i thinking]

are they laying while free ranging? hiding them?

Mine did this until I locked them in the coop/run for a week. I found them in the flowerbeds, veggie garden, even between a stack of bricks.


PS mine seem all to like nest that are snug, dark and on or close to the ground.

I have 22 week old blacks. Should I be getting eggs? They free range. Would they really be hiding them, where is the best place to look for hidden eggs?

I have 5 Black Sex Links. The first one started lay at 19 and 1/2 weeks. They are one week shy of 6 months now and everyone is laying. I have got 5-6 double-yokers and they are HUGE!

Mine lay an average of 11 eggs a day from 12 hens, they're about 23 weeks old- golden comets.
They started laying at 16 weeks, 3 days.

I really dont think they are because I usually stay right out there with them. They are all within sight of me the whole time, plus there are some days that they dont get to go outside and I still dont find any. I dont think they are eating them either because I have 2 older turkens in with them who are laying and i get eggs from them most every day.

Black sexlinks lay a brown egg correct? My black sex lays probably 5-6 a week, they were originally a pinkish color and have now turned more brown. The egg seems to have a wider waist if that makes sence or where as my reds eggs are more oval.
