What was the longest wait for your pullet's first egg?

[bobbieschicks]

I have a 34 week old Ancona. She has looked ready for a month, but still no eggs.

So I was wondering if she holds the record for waiting to lay her 1st egg.

Aw, I'm sorry your still waiting...

As you probably know, mine layed at 33 weeks.

Thanks - I'm hoping it won't be much longer. But I think she isn't the norm - or else I'd have alot of responses saying not to worry - LOL!

We waited over 9 months for BBS Orpington to lay this past year. Actually they didn't lay until this year. One of them is a dud, she's either still not laying or only lays the oddball speckled egg that shows up once or twice a week. Minnie will be stew.

I waited almost 11 months for my LF Cochin girls to start laying. Some of them didn't follow until a few weeks after the first started. They took FOREVER!

Thanks everyone - I just think it's a shame that our 25 week old silkie has already begun to lay and AC, now almost 35 weeks old, hasn't. So frustrating!

C is still going for the "longest wait to lay her eggs" award. She has her acceptance speech written and gown picked out. :/
