I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble.
But, when I got Heidi, Bright Eyes, Domino, and Moma Hattie last year, it was about July/August, they were probably about 15 weeks old.
NONE of them laid until March of this year.
So, out of 2 Australorps, 1 SLW, and 1 Light Brahma, NONE of them laid until Spring.
So, needless to say, I'm not expecting my pullets (their daughters) that hatched in June to lay until Spring of 08. Would be a nice surprise, but after just buying 2.5 dozen eggs for Thanksgiving, I'd be a PO'd chicken moma if they started now. LOL
