What age did everyone's pullets start laying?? Really, Really hoping they don't wait as long as my AMs are.

Mine were like 9 1/2 months old ... but then again they did start laying in the winter so i am thinking that delayed them some. (At least I hope so!) I think Randy has said normally 7 1/2 months. Is that right, Randy?

 

[berkeleysprings]

yes at least 7 1/2 also i didnt use lighting but finaly got 4 eggs this week out of 14 hens lol days r gettin longer

 

[cukooformarans]

lol... congratulations Randy!

I am thankful for these longer days, too!

 

[AZBootsie]

Cool, Thank you both for the info. Guess it is a month or so earlier than Ameraucanas. Just need Patience. One of these days I am going to pick a project bird that lays at 17 weeks!!

On the up side: Since mine were hatched in November, they will mature with nice long days this summer.

Pull up another window and pull up byc on the other window. Go to your profile. Pull up your pic album. Click on the photo you want. Right click your mouse and hit copy. Meanwhile hit reply on the first orignal window where you are going to post. Left click on mouse in reply popup box. Then Right click on mouse and hit paste. Hit preview under reply window/popup box.
