Redwing Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Pure breeds can be about 30 weeks or so before they come in to lay but there is a chance they could start anytime after 22 weeks The eggs are usually cream coloured They are smallish eggs, a small standard egg rather than a bantam egg though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
