Looks great! Can't wait for my chickens to start laying eggs so I can have fresh eggs.

Rhoad Island White (we have three and they have been laying for about a year and a half)
Brown Leghorns (we have three and they have been laying for about a year and a half)

These two breeds are moderate at best layers. However I have taken steps to jump start our egg production. I have added another eleven chickens. They were 13 +/- weeks old when I got them and they should all be laying sometime in August..

2 Rhoad Island Reds
3 Barred Rock
3 Amber Link
3 Black Australorp

I have Rhode Island reds too. At what age will they start laying?
