Chicken Kitty Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 We have had our Sussex bantams for a couple of weeks now. The eldest is 18 weeks old and i was wondering how old they are when they start laying? I have read several different things...one said 18 weeks and one said 24 weeks! We love them regardless, but we are curious to know when !egg!'s might appear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Look for the clues: You will see their combs and face gear redden up, they should start to squat and start showing an interest in the nest box. It could be anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Kitty Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 I have noticed their faces and combs are a deeper colour than when we got them......No squatting yet though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
