silkies, leghorns and pekin bantums and egg laying

[leos-mama]

Okay now. Pecky the silkie and her friends arrived 4 weeks ago. She was allegedly slightly older than POL but had stopped for the winter. Since arrival no eggs. When should Pecky start laying??? I wasnt expecting anything great 2 maybe 3 a week. Please tell me she should start laying soon - I cant wait to see her eggs. Same for Flappy the bantum leghorn who has laid once in her 4 weeks here! Also I have 2 little pekin bantums who should have about POL however they still have very pale and small combs. When should I expect eggs?

On the bright side both my ISA warrens are now performing, 2 eggs for the past 2 days - very eggcitinge

it can take up to 11 months for a silkie to start laying, up to nine for a cochin. so you may have to wait a while

blinking heck, that will teach me to go style over substance (but they are so beautiful) - Not sure what the leghorns excuse is, she was laying before I had her!!!!

Thinking when I expand that maybe some bluebells or ambers. Would like a good layer that lays blue or green eggs (do they exist)???????
