My girls were already laying when I got them at 7 and 8 months, but they stopped for about a month after the move to my house. Go to backardchickens.com and their forum has some very knowledgeable hen keepers. Much more expert than I am.<br /><br />Hang in there! It is totally worth the wait!Dot Connectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548044894797082328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717548737545213343.post-10194876812515837122011-10-26T13:24:35.432-07:002011-10-26T13:24:35.432-07:00How old were your hens when they started to lay eg...How old were your hens when they started to lay eggs. I just got a rooster and 6 hens and the are 5 months almost 6 months old and still not laying. I am giving them the laying mash and have been for about 2 months but nothing. I am hatching out my first set of duck eggs and we are going to try for duck eggs. I am hoping they start soon or we are going to have to get rid of them. My husband is getting concerned and wants to kill them now, I would rather give them away. I just don't want to loose my fresh eggs.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147410668146348138noreply@blogger.com
