ChrisEllis Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi I was wondering when silkies start laying eggs? Mine were born in early september and so i was wondering if someone could give me a month range of when its typical tey lay, bearing in mind the cold winter and what seasn it will be etc. Also i have sme polands that were born early - mid october, does anyne kno what month the girls will start laying bearing in mind the weather and seasons etc. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'd go with about May time for both lots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 You might be lucky, some do lay earlier, after about 25 weeks is a possibility so all is not lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Even buying in pure breeds in the spring (especially bantams) won't guarantee you eggs until maybe April so it's probably easier waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 They'll lay when they are good & ready, and nothing will make them lay sooner if they don't want to Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
