My new girls must have been born early Jan, so thinking it is about time I saw an egg or two, but they are slow growing pure breeds - so can anyone tell me at what point their Cream Legbar, Dorking or Barnvelder started to lay.

 

ONly a couple of months to the end of the season probably for these pure breeds and it would be nice to have at least 1-2 lay something before next year. I have read Dorkings mainly lay in spring/early summer, but can take up to 2 years to fully mature.

My Warren Donna didn't lay until she was about 33 weeks old, so don't worry too much!

 

I have heard that some take until they are 40 weeks.

My pure breeds were 9-10 months before they laid.
