That particular hen started laying at about 19weeks and that was about three months ago. All three PRs are laying now as are all 3 of the araucanas. We have two RIRs that are laying hit & miss and one RIR that has yet to lay at all.

Congratz on the first egg!

Forgive me, a production red is the same thing
as a golden sex link? Mine is 18 weeks old, and
I am wearing myself out looking for the first egg!

I'm sorry i do not really know much about breeds, looking up online i found that a Production Red; Large egg size. (cross between New Hampshire Red hen and Rhode Island Red Rooster)
*Red sex link; (cross between Delaware Hen and Rhode Island Red Rooster) Large egg layer...
If you are asking if they are the same thing I really don't know.. but like i said i know really nothing about breeds.. maybe someone else will come along thats knows alot about this stuff. sorry, as for the egg waiting, it depends on the pullet i suppose, she will lay when she is ready. It seems like it takes forever though huh?!.. Thanks you all for the congrats! I hope i get a "real egg" tonight from her.. ha ha ones without shells are kinda creepy looking and my hubby wouldn't eat it unless it looked like a normal egg *bless his goofy heart*.
