What age do EE's lay there first eggs?

[AlaskGirl]

What do you think about my EE's being ready around December? Will they lay that first egg despite the winter if I provide adequate lighting and heat?

I had 3 EE's. The first to lay was at 20 weeks. She gave me a nice light tan egg. The other two girls started around 23 weeks, both lay blue/green eggs. The color of the blue/green varies throughout the month...sometimes more olive-y, sometimes more blue. My tan laying EE was killed by a fox over the winter, but I have a new 8+week EE I'm anxiously waiting to see how she lays.

I expected my one and only EE to be my last egg layer, but she ended up the first! She was around 21-22 weeks, but I'm told that is fairly early for an EE. They are often 25 weeks. She's giving me one a day now while my other three are still sporadic.

The EE's that are brown(pinkish) egg layers started first at 20 weeks. The ones that layed blue started about a week later.
