Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

The youngest chickens are now 5 months old and still have not laid an egg am I gonna have to wait until spring for them to lay?? their combs and waddles are still pinkish compared to the rest of the girls and Bigum's who is definitely out doing the doo :celebrate he doesn't try to mate with them so I'm guessing he knows what he is doing... LOL:fl
He is very aggressive; I don't see him courting anyone more like a blitz attack!!! think I'm gonna have to make a separate run and house for him to settle down. still have not seen any eggs showing the sign that they are fertilized but he out there every day doing the Doo :wee Bigum's is 5-month-old too, so just a cockerel. would like to get some chicks from him next year what are the odds or should I wait til he is older??

I think you'll get some chicks from him in spring if not late winter. Not sure I would separate him unless he is harming the hens.

Yeah they don't look close to laying yet, so you probably won't start seeing eggs until daylight hours start lengthening again.
