Not the best pic but this is my 21wk old W Roo. He has to hens of the same breed and a slew of other breeds to contend with. He is a gift for my sweet hubby who has been patient and helpful with "my project". This roo was all he asked for so I gave in. Maybe this breed knows that some of them are headed for the stew pot once they stop laying so take their sweet time...I would.

yes

Oh, good. I thought my welsummer pullet was sterile or something. All the other pullets are laying, the EE started at 5 months. Everyone's 6 months now, and only the wellie doesn't lay.

Thanks. nope, not yet. I thought she would be my first egg because her comb got red early but then it stopped growing and my BSL ended up being first. Then she squatted once so I thought she'd be second but my little runty RIR decided to take that spot. The welsummer hasn't squatted since. I haven't seen her in a nest box either. She's always been very loud so it's hard to tell if she's practicing an egg song or just being her usual squawky self. Hopefully she'll start soon.
