Will pullets start laying even though the winter is coming?

[debid]

I just had one start today (no supplemental lighting).

I had chickens start laying last year mid-january, in minus something temps. So yep, they will.

Mine just started laying two weeks ago. We do not use lights. I was tickled pink!

Yep, season doesn't matter in the first year - they will still start laying. I had 2 start up 2 weeks ago. (I don't light my coops)

My little minorca just started laying. I thought she was never going to start. The last of my sex links to start laying started last week too. As you know Happy, I don't light my coops.

Bump, for my own positive thinking

Positive thinking worked! We have teensiest eggs dropping now!

Guess I'll find out too. Mine should start laying mid/end of Dec!

We have lights in two coops and not in another. The one coop without lights has pullets coming of age but not laying. The other two coops have pullets coming of age and just started laying in the last couple weeks. I think the lights are working

Great science experiment
