When do Araucanas start laying ?

[RIR0BCM]

I have a 5 months old purebred araucana pullet ....i want to know When will she start laying eggs ?

My Light Brahma x Ameraucana/EE crosses hatched on May 12/13th and just started laying yesterday. Right @ 24 weeks.
Araucana/Ameraucana/EEs are not "production" layers, be patient and don't expect an egg everyday.

Yes i know they are not good layers ..
I just cant find much info about this breed
I know some breeds lay very early while others take longer to start laying

I have an Ameruacana Pullet..6 months old...She has not started to lay...Usually between 6 to 7 months...She is Pure bred..

Cheers!

Oh then i still have to wait 2 months ..

 

[carlf]

Yes, most likely another 1-2 months.

 

[RIR0BCM]

Yeah i guess but for some reason i thought this breed is an early layer i guess i was wrong

Where did you get your Araucanas?

From a breeder in my area

Watch the comb & wattles, it'll get bright red & she'll also squat when you try to pick her up prior laying.
