When do chickens start laying eggs?

5$ for a dozen?! That's nuts! I would never pay and definitely would never sell for that much! 2-3$ sounds fair to me...that's about 35$ extra a month! Pays for their food and hay! Sounds good to me!

Finally! My SLW laid her first egg yesterday which also happened to be her first birthday. I thought she'd never lay that first egg!

Well, my silkie just went broody this week. Luckily my ameraucana is still laying, and the Sussex just started this week to pick up the slack! No lights and these girls are going strong pretty much daily during this winter!

I have cochin/aracauna mixes, 3 hens. They are 21 weeks old. I thought they are supposed to start laying by now, but they're not. They free range during the day and cooped at night. The bag says poultry feed, but it doesn't specifically say layer feed. The feed store owner said that poultry feed is layer feed. Is that accurate? Has anyone found it effective to add cayenne pepper to their feed to help speed up the laying process?
