My girls started laying on the 21st- at 3 days shy of 20 weeks old- 3 layed in 1 day! I have 10 and they all started laying within the same week- Between my 2
2 1/2 year olds, I am getting 11-12 a day! Wow!! I have Isa Browns. Some of them still don't squat by the way.....

That's great! Are Isa Browns like White Leghorns in egg production? What color egg do they lay?

I believe they are like White Leghorns in egg production- they are laying a very dark brown egg- almost like a Marans would lay Each of them are laying every day since they began. Most of their eggs are medium size yet, although 3 are very large already.

Ok so I will get in on this conversation. I'm a first time chicken owner and have 6 pullets. I got (2) SLW, (1) RIR/White Leghorn X and (1) White Crested Black Polish the week before Thanksgiving and was told they were 20 weeks but I think they were more like 16 weeks. So I believe they are now around 23 weeks. Well the Polish just started squatting for me on Monday and has nice red wattles. The Leghorn X and one of the SLW have nice red faces and wattles but no squatting so I'm patiently waiting for my first egg. I really didn't think I would be this excited for my first egg but I really can't wait.
