My White Rock laid at exactly 18 weeks. I have an Ameracauna and Dark Brahma bantam that are 26 weeks and still haven't and I also have a 20 week Ameracauna who still hasn't laid, AND a Black Sex-link and Rhode Island Red who are both 16 weeks and should be laying soon!

Today! Today today today! We had our first egg and it was wow so worth the wait. I'm giddy with excitement, you'd think I laid it. Our girls are about 21 - 23 wks old? Kinda lost track there.
