iandjsmum Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi. This is one for the pekin owners amongst us! None of mine are laying yet. They hatched last April. Has anyone got a pekin that's laying at the moment? I've noticed that mine get up quite late!!! And often spend time in the coop during the day so don't think they're desperate for their daylight hours. Do they normally lay from Feb to Oct ish or will it be March? Thanks.

tom123 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 One have mine have just started up and she will probably lay until October/November as she did last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 My mottled has been laying for 3/4 weeks now, and lays almost every day, the millefleur is slightly younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 One of mine crouched the other day. I wasn't expecting it at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Mercedes was missing today for a while - and OH found 3 eggs - one silkie, one Maran and a little torpedo, so one's up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 There was a tiny egg in the Pekin's run this morning! 2 of them are crouching so no idea who laid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Mine haven't laid yet and they are 30 - 40 weeks both have ruddy red combs, no squatting yet though... come on girls lay a little egg for my tea! What colour do they lay, I've not had Pekin's before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
