We have 12 hens, the first 6 are probably all laying, but we only get 5 eggs a day. The younger 6 are now approx 21 weeks old and all have red faces and combs. Should they be laying?

Hi Gran
the younger ones may take another month before the start laying

Shame, as the older (Lohmans) all started at about 19-20 weeks! We'd had hopes that these (bluebells, daisybelles and speckedlies) would be up and running just as quickly.
