We had 11 australorps hens and 1 rooster, but on Saturday a fox came and snatched 4 of them. They are now 13 weeks and are very healthy and i was wondering when do they start to lay?

yes, thats what we been doing are dog does a good job keeping the fox away know, thanks!So sorry for your losses, that's never easy
It seems once a predator finds an easy hunting ground, they'll keep coming back for more. So beef up your coop and run security. If they have been free ranging, you might want to only do it when you can be there to keep an eye on them.
thank you!Hello. I am terribly sorry the fox took your chooks. Australorps can start laying at about 18 weeks of age which is a lot earlier than a lot of other breeds. Hold tight in another month you with be getting lovely eggs from your girls
