When will she lay her first egg?

[Jules929]

I bought her at TSC as a Cuckoo Marans, but some have said she is a Barred Rock. She was a few days old; and that was 8-12-18. She is 13 weeks old. When do you think she will lay her first egg? We live in central Florida.

Definitely a late bird for laying....

She looks like a Barred Rock to me. Somewhere around 3 more months. It's hard to say. If she is a hatchery bird from my experience they may start a little sooner, if from a breeder maybe a little longer.

She is.

Thanks @cmom, I think so too. TSC is notorious for mis-labelling their chicks.

Same with Rural King. A few years ago I bought some labeled as Brown Leghorns and they turned out to be Partridge Rocks. I found a breeder eventually for my Brown Leghorns. As chicks they do look very similar.

I would say December 1 though December 13ish.

Are you still looking for the Blue Laced Wyandottes?

Yes, my neighbor has her heart set on getting a dozen for her and her daughter.

Thanks! I hope so. The pics actually look more pink. She is actually more reddish.
