I have 7 girls, they just turned 14 weeks yesterday. I have read that they can start to lay anywhere between 4 and 6 months. My questions is when do I prepare the nesting boxes and have them available?? I have them blocked off right now and I know that you don't want them opened too early or they will get used to laying/sleeping in them, right? Any help woul be appreciated....I am a total newbie to this. Grandmas, Aunts, Uncles all had chickens on farms, mine are in a "chicken palace", as my husband call it, in the suburbs outside of NYC.
