When will they lay?

Recommended Posts

I know they are only pekins so they wont lay very often or very much, that's not why i wanted them! :D

 

But, the occasional little egg would make me very happy... :angel:

 

As they are only just 19 and 21 weeks, I 'm not expecting them to lay this side of Christmas (?) they don't lay in winter do they?

 

So, what I really want to know is when can I start excpecting eggs from the little darlings?

So I can look out :wink:

 

Thanks in Advance,

Hopefully they will lay soon. Our oldest started laying 1 week ago. She is about 23 weeks and we have had 6 eggs now. I still get thrilled when I see an egg. Our younger one is 19 weeks and is only starting to get a small red comb. Ive been told that they dont always lay so much in winter, but so far , so good. !eggspeck!

I got my first pekins last year about the same time of year that you got yours (if you follow). They started laying in the February time so you may have a bit of a wait....sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

I don't mind! It's not really bad news I was just curious as to when it would be.

So February time...:think: maybe if I ask them they'll lay some eggies on my birthday, which is the 19th :D

 

Thank you all!

I've had mine since may (8weeks old) and I haven't had a single egg. Feeling very despondent about the whole affair!

They are living in the lap of luxury, the picture of perfect health, couldn't be tamer - in fact too tame that they get in the way. I have a bunch of free loaders :evil:
