When do Wyandottes generally start laying?

[lauranickerson]

I have two SLW and two GLW that are about 17-18 weeks old. I'm getting antsy! I hope it's sometime soon! They don't really like me getting close to them so seeing if they squat is almost impossible.

I also have four BLR that are only about 6 weeks old, but so cute. They are going to be gorgeous. One male (blue strain) and three females (splash strain). So excited...or as they say..eggcited!

I take that back, they don't mind me being close to them, but as soon as I make a move to touch them or pick them up, they're gone! lol. One is pretty easy to catch, though.

Mine are the same way, you can walk amongst em,sit by them but try to touch them & they're gone. I apparently only have one laying, guess she actually started laying a day earlier than I thought but I didn't find the egg until there was 2. 24 weeks today! These other 3 better get busy.

It's agonizing waiting for them! Haha.

Had another hen squat today, another one, squatted a couple weeks back. The only one laying, never did. We had to buy a dozen eggs today. Dang chickens!

I have a SLW hen that has not even started squatting and is 7 months. The EE hen that is the same age just started laying last week on Wednesday. I get these greenish eggs every other day from her. I also have a Dutch Bantam hen I am waiting on too. Don't know her age since I purchased her from a local person.

I have six Silver Penciled Wyandotte pullets that I have raised . They are going on five months and no sign of laying . They are very large ! So happy to hear they are late bloomers .
