I have 2 leghorns, 2 buffs, 1 Barred Rock and 1 Wyandotte. They are all 20-22 weeks old, with the leghorns being the youngest. however, they started laying almost 2 weeks ago. The other 4 have not. Would it help if I sent pics? Just curious if some breeds take longer than others.
It's not at all uncommon for Leghorns to be early layers. Pullets that mature in the fall, generally, can take a bit longer to start laying, than those that mature in the spring/summer. I'm assuming your 'buffs' are Orpingtons. They can be a bit slow to mature. Rocks and Wyandottes are usually laying by about 25 weeks. The Orpingtons can take a few weeks longer to mature.
Mine are the same age. 7 Barred Rocks, 3 Rhode Island. I'm still waiting on the first egg. Hopefully soon!
I have the same mix of breeds right now too.The order they started laying was white leghorns barred rocks orpingtons and then the wyandottes.
