First eggs

Recommended Posts

We got two chickens a month ago, one was 16 weeks old the other 18 weeks. We were told by the breeder that they should start laying between 18 -22 weeks. So far no sign of any eggs eventhough both chickens seem very happy and are lively characters.

We feed them layers pellets, they have grit and oystershell in their run and treats in the evening (sweetcorn etc).

During the evening, when we can keep our eye on them they get the run of the garden.

A friend mentioned today that they may not start laying at all now the days are gradually getting shorter. Is this a possibility?
