That was what I meant to ask how old do you feel they are and how long till eggs to give me an idea.

Cheers Bill

I would say they are about 12-14 weeks old  ::)  They normally start laying at approx 24 weeks old so you've got a little while yet  :dry:

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will come along and put me right!  :nowink:

They are lovely birds  :D

I would agree with the estimate of around 12 weeks for the Sussex.  She looks just like my girls did when I got them at that age. 

They are a very pretty pair.  :)
