I just found the First Egg Countdown thread, but I thought I could pose my question here since we are all EE people...

[COLOR=0000FF]When did your EE(s) start laying eggs???[/COLOR]

Ours started laying at 18 weeks. I was surprised when I found a green egg because I wasn't expecting it for another month or so. Our EE's started laying before our leg horns of the same age.

Honestly? I dunno, lol. I'm not real good at record keeping. Sometimes seems like they are chicks forever, then next thing you know they're giving you eggs.

ours are going onto 21 weeks I believe and still waiting on first EE to lay, but we just got our first egg from any of them this past week after we culled and processed two of our RIR roo's that were mean and aggressive. It was two days after that when we got our first egg. I took that a sign e had made th right decision about if flock dynamics.

COChix I tried to post Condolences about Honey twice now. I don't know what's going on by my phone & BYC are not getting along.
Anyway, she was a special bird and I hated to hear of your loss!!

I have so many EE cockerels growing out!! Arg!! Idk what I'm going to do with them all! They r very cute and funny, but I'm trying not to get attached cause I'll prolly have to eat em! I HATE processing birds though. It is just such a mess! Lol

I am right there with you. I purchased 3 chicks about 2 weeks ago. 2 so far are roosters and I only have room for 1. I have a baby that is really small and doesn't seem to want to grow. She is a quarter the size of the others but I think she may be a month or more younger.

I usually sell straight run when they r a lot younger. Just the time of year I guess. People stopped buying so many. So they got big. I have 4 little cockerels that I KNOW of, & a few more younger ones I'm still undecided on. Lol I won't use any of them, cause my roo is soooo pretty. I'll either sell them or eat them when they grow up. Sounds horrible, but that was the plan if we had extra, I'm just "chickening" out of the plan. LMBO.
