How old was your hen when she laid her 1st egg?

[tunaoftheland]

My earliest chicken:
Breed of hen- Easter Egger
Age in weeks when she laid- 17 weeks
If you have more than one of that breed, did they all start laying around the same time?- the others were strung out until almost five months old
Color of egg- pale blue
Size of egg- did not even register on my egg scale it was so small

My latest chicken:
Breed of hen- red cochin
Age in weeks when she laid- 26 weeks
If you have more than one of that breed, did they all start laying around the same time?- the others were a bit earlier
Color of egg- light brown
Size of egg- medium

Our first pullet to lay:

Breed of hen: 'Gold Link' Gold Sex-Link (A.K.A. Golden Comets?)
Age in weeks when she laid: 18 weeks
If you have more than one of that breed, did they all start laying around the same time? The two others started roughly a week later.
Color of egg: Medium brown
Size of egg: Medium-large

Me too, but it will take a lot more input.

Thanks for the Minorca!

Anyone have more info on their chickens I know we're still missing some breeds and gaps in breed info! I think this chart is so informative!!!

I THINK my cornish laid an egg finally, but I'm not entirely sure. SOMEONE has laid a smallish medium cream egg on TOP of the chicken tractor for two days now. She's a white laced red cornish, 27 1/2 weeks. I'm trying to verify if this egg looks like a cornish egg, though.

Silver Laced Wyandotte first and only so far to lay at 21.5 weeks. light brown- tiny egg - very cute.
They are 23.5 weeks now and I've had 10 eggs from her and the others I'm still waiting for
