When will my Rocks start laying?

[MABEchicks]

So we just got our first few eggs! We assumed it was from our Rocks because they are 4 weeks older than our ISA Browns but in fact it was our ISAs laying! The Rocks are about 21 weeks old. It seems like the ISA Browns are laying early but I just want to know when I should expect the Rocks to lay. Thanks in advance for any advice! I love this website

Sex links tend to start laying around 4 months, and rocks generally start around 5-6 months.

Well, my Barred Rocks, in their most sassy tone of voice would tell you, "We will lay when we darn well feel like it!" (Can you hear that tone? It would put most moody teens to shame!) lol
Seriously though, they generally lay before 24 weeks or so, and then they are very good layers! Best of luck with your sweet (and sassy) ladies!
