KateCooke Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have 4 bantams that i bought 10 weeks ago, i do not know actual age but was told they were at point of lay when i bought them but looking back they might have been as young as 12-15 weeks. Neither have laid a single egg yet, should i be worried? Someone has told me that i will not see any eggs til spring, is this right? They have a tiny comb, is this a bantam thing or will they get a bigger one and will this indicate ready to lay? Yours A very hungry Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 It could be that they don't lay until next spring. If they are pure breeds, they tend to lay between Feb and Sept/Oct. But you never know! What is certain is that they will lay - sometime..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sounds like they are are too young to lay You can look forward to the spring tho, then you'll have plenty of eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 and bantam eggs are gorgeous - lovely big yellow yolks and smaller whites than 'normal' eggs. so they will be worth the wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
