When will others lay?

[caj1985]

I have 6 pullets that I bought in October from Atwoods. They get their chicks from Ideal.

I bought 3 EE, 1 BJG, 1 SLW & 1 BR.

The three EE's have been laying regularly for a month now. The others have red combs but no signs of brown eggs yet. Any ideas as to when a normal time frame is for these breeds?

Thanks.

The heavier breeds do seem to take longer to mature and begin laying. 20 weeks is the average, but sometimes these larger breeds can take even 5 to 7 weeks longer. When you reach out and they squat for you, then you'll see eggs real soon.
