Will my Pullets lay eggs this Fall?

IMO I would stick with chick/grower feed or switch to all flock and keep the calcium on the side. They are still growing/developing and will benefit from the higher protein content.

Your going to get more every day!!
Each chicken will give you "Their " first egg.
You can also number the eggs. Put the numbers in a hat and draw.
Everyone gets a first egg but, one person will get "THE" first egg.

This is my first time with chickens and my pullets are 22 weeks old (2 Barred Rocks and 4 Easter Eggers) and none them have started laying yet. Their combs and wattles have grown and are bright red, they are destroying the nesting boxes daily and about 12 days ago a few of them started squatting when I would pet them. These are all sign of impending egg laying from what I have read, but alas, nothing. I have also read that since they are reaching maturity during fall that I may have to wait until spring to start getting eggs. We are located in Northern Nevada with highs in the 70's and nightly temps of upper 30's and low 40's and we still have 12 1/2 hours of daylight. So... any guesses if I will be seeing any eggs this fall or will I have to wait until spring??? Thanks!

I've gotten 3 eggs so far from a pullet around the same age, but the other 6 haven't started.

I finally got the first egg last Tuesday from my little Dominique, then a 2nd Thursday from my RIR. Expecting something soon from my cochin. Agree, never thought I'd be so egg-cited about eggs!

“When will then be now?”
“Soon”

that reminds me of "wait - wait til the moon is full" from a childhood book!
