peachachecha Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have two Black Copper Marans that were born some time in March and a friend of mine said because of the days getting shorter that I will not get any eggs until spring of next year. Is this true? This is my first time having chickens so do not know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 5 months so thats 20 weeks..... as theyre hybrids, they should still begin to lay now , although a little later perhaps . They should start to lay at about 22-24 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
