I don't know where you got yours from but they are s-l-o-w maturing breed. I don't think I've ever had a pullet that started laying before 25 weeks at the earliest and the roos are even slower to mature.

My BLRWs where 27 weeks before they started laying. And their eggs are small till about 9+ months old. At least mine where.

Sounds like they need to be bred for some production traits

If I wanted production traits I'd have hatchery birds.

I'm getting a SLW chick on Sunday. She's hatchery quality, though. I think Wyandottes are the prettiest chickens ever. I'll post pics as soon as I get my chicks.
