What breed are we and when will we lay eggs?

[angie3881]

I have Buffs, RIR's, BR's and white leghorns from March- they are HUGE compared to these girls?

This is a Roo, obviously, but he is a March chick.

The heat stroke we are having in Oklahoma may have set them back. My good layers all but quit in August. Also you may want to kick up the protein a few %

I think you may be right. It was very hot here in Oklahoma. I will try that.

That's strange. Mine are all large and laying. We have had some heat here in Iowa, but nothing too intolerable and not for an extended time. It may be environmental. My chickens eat better than the rest of us at home, so that could be part of it. Maybe mine are all just fat! LOL

Curious what you've been feeding them? They do look awfully smallish...

Where did you get them from? I know you said they where hatched in March.

The first one looks like a Red Leghorn (Not a R.I. Red or a Production Red)
second one White Leghorn,
third a Buff Orpington
