White Leghorns???

[rkayflute]

I recently got two White Leghorns pullets. They guy said they hatched late January or early February. I was wondering when I should expect them to lay? They look so much older than the guy said, but I could be wrong. They have smaller combs and I have read that White Leghorns have a lot larger combs. Thanks!

Their combs develop as they get closer to POL. They look very young, likely 2+ months out from laying eggs yet. They should start laying between 20 and 26 weeks of age depending on a number of things.

We got our first White Leghorns about 8 months ago I think it was - wow they are amazing egg layers. I only kept 1 out of the 4 I bought, giving the other 3 to my parents. The one I kept hasn't skipped a day of laying since i can remember, and she lays a large/Xlarge white egg. Good at foraging but they are the least friendly bird too - which is exactly what they are known for, flighty.
