| From chickens |
We've had the chickens since March, waiting and feeding them, waiting foday that they'd begin to lay eggs. We continued to hear various numbers thrown out as we talked to others who have chickens - ranging from 6 months before they'll lay eggs, some telling us that it wouldn't be till next spring - I was guessing something like 120-150 days old when they'd lay. We bought them at 3 weeks old in March, so they'd be roughly 5 months old now and have more or less started laying every day . I think we only have 2 of the 3 Lorps laying at the moment, so hopefully the 3rd one will kick in fairly soon. The three younger ones will be a while - maybe even next spring - before they lay. The RIR will probably be the first layer of the second set as the Americana and the Spitzhauben lay less frequently than the other breeds we have.
