I've just been reading that Dorkings start laying until 5-6 months of age. Lorna is 3 months old, so I should expect her first egg in February.
And Edie will be 8 months old when her first egg comes, assuming she's not a cockerel. So that'll be April-May.
And Katie will be 8-10 months old! April-June. Which will be Winter, so maybe she'll wait until Spring, which will be Septemberish.
I like that these pullets are slow-maturing and slow-laying. They'll have a chance of getting to 5, maybe even 8 years of age.
