Depends on the breed...some mature much slower than others. It took my LS almost a year to reach breeding age & the hens were laying around 9-10 months. Orloffs are the slowest to mature I've had, though...some of the lighter, smaller breeds like EE's or Sumatra-sized can be around 5-6 months, I think?

Oh and bantams will usually be much earlier than that!

DH is setting up the crib & changing table now!

And he went to town this morning and got all of the supplies he needed to finish my "sniper tower" coop!

I think it will be under $300 for everything!

Oh and that includes the IPA Long Hammer he bought too!

I'm not sure, but if they are, they are!! You should incubate some to check for sure!

How old are they?

Oh yes. And a Creve!

They lay HUGE white eggs and don't eat very much.

Then you'll get brown, white, blue and dark brown eggs!

makes for a pretty dozen!

Oh! Oh! And an Olive Egger or too! Need that nice color dark green to round out the pretty dozen!!!

And a Welsummer or a BCM...

My Orp eggs were fertile at about 7 months of age.

Well, darned good!

Father's Day here involved food, rest, and a Mariner's win. My daughter and I are both still too fatigued by the battle for the Tower of Solitude that neither of us have done anything worthy of the name of doing- no, wait, she put a load of washcloths in to the laundry machine, that's true, after driving her father to work. I finally remembered to take some painkillers so I can get up and shower. Eventually. When I'm done messing about on the internets, and then I'll finish the food and drink stations for Elvis.
