The Dogmother Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 They are generally later to lay and prone to broodiness, but one of mine is laying again now. The other is retired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh sarah Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 i think Jan is going to be too old and retire before she even starts i was looking for an excuse to buy another eggskelter for my baby eggs i will just have to buy one ready if you think she will eventually lay sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi Sarah My pekins hatched in July last year but didn't start laying until 8 months later in March! Don't give up as sure it will be soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
