Got one holdout at 28 weeks. Maybe holding her feet over a BBQ flame will give her a little added incentive to start laying.

My girl, Charcoal, was 31 weeks before we got the first egg. Now I have an egg everyday waiting for me.

Oh good, there's still hope. We've been thinking we had a defective chicken.

It should be a week or two

This thread has been quite helpful. I have two Blue Laced Wyandottes right now at 27 weeks and still not one egg, nor are either squatting. Nice to know it may take a bit longer for these big girls.

My Buff Orps and Dominiques started laying right around 22 weeks.

Here is a pic of Elsie and Alma not ready to leave their roost in the morning.

Hi, what color are Wyandotte eggs usually?
