[Fowl97]

i not shure but this doesnt make any sense
"Did You Know?
Hens will start producing eggs between 5-7 months of age."

i think it is supposed to be weeks maybe

 

[NoseyChickens]

No it's months.

My black sex-links started at about 4 months and the americaunas about 2 weeks later.

 

[crazyhen]

definitely months. Mine usually start anywhere from 20 weeks for hybrids to 32 weeks for some. Its just according to the light and the type of hen. Gloria Jean

My chickens are from Mcmurray and yes they are correct 5-7 months for my girls I have never heard of weeks for a hen to lay there still babies.......

 

[froggie71]

Mine started at 6 months and 1 of our EE's just laid their 1st egg today 7 months.

 

[Fowl97]

ok ok ok i got confuesed where i got them from it was 3 to 5 months

I think in all animals there are some early developers and yes some of mine did start at 22 weeks, but most of my hatch from late April are still not laying and none of my late June hatch seem to be doing a thing. 5 to 7 seems right.

I have a polish from April who is just starting up. My ameraucana just layed her very first (gorgeous blue) egg yesterday

and she is a late may hatch. My EE from early June isn't giving me anything yet...

I think I got my 1st egg today from my April babies. It only weights 1.5 oz's, where all my other brown eggs have been right at 2.0 oz's. Don't know who laid it, but didn't see my barred rock most of the day, so it might have been her. I sure hope this breaks the dry spell, as I've been having to BUY eggs for about a month and a half. I'm about ready to break down and figure out putting a times light in their house. Does it have to be inside and outside the house, or just inside? Also thinking about expanding their living quarters. I thought they would use the screen porch, but they don't, so I'm going to enclose it to enlarge the house.
