Great! I just asked because the adults I have now they were hatched y very late summer and started laying in very late spring, 20 days before summer day ( at exactly 8 months of age).
I was wondering that now they are adults they might start laying a little earlier like early to mid spring? Or they lay when it is already hot climate.
Also here last spring was slow to come regarding temperatures.

My experience with my birds is that they lay later each spring as they age. Weather can have an effect too. When mine laid their first spring, they started in mid April. This year mine did not start laying until mid May. I will be setting my first batch of eggs tomorrow.

Wow! Good data to have in mind! I thought they would lay as soon as spring stared once they were older. Well, I’ll just wait then and let you know what happens this year.
So yours this year is almost the same time mine stsrted laying too (having in mind the days left till summer day).
I’ll try to take better photos once the have fully gronw and molted and see if we can guess their colors!
Thanks for your time!!
Have a nice weekend
