forgive me, i'm new at this...
so someone just told me that my birds are not going to lay until next year. i have buff o's, rir's and wyandottes that are currently 12 weeks old. i was under the impression that they were going to start laying eggs in late october (around 21/22 weeks) and continue through the winter. i was just told that they will not lay until the spring unless i have them under a light. is this true??? this is coming from a guy that raises bantams. maybe he's mistaken about my heavier breed birds? please say he's mistaken...
