Pekin- when do they start to lay eggs?

[spotsplus]

Our young "couple" have been "courting" and wondering when to expect to see some ducky eggs?

Mine were about 5 or 6 months. I believe it's supposed to be 20-24 (or 26?) weeks for the 'heavier' breeds.

My Pekin started laying at 20 weeks. She gave me 4 eggs and then quit laying again for about 3 or 4 more weeks. She has been going strong all summer and is now setting on 12 eggs. She is now a one year old.
