chelsea Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 they are a bit young yet paul. Usually about 20-24 weeks is the normal start of a laying hen. Few more weeks of waiting yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 What are you feeding them on, Paul? They ought to be on growers pellets (or mash) at that age, not layers - feeding layers' too soon can be bad for their long-term health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
