Pekins and laying?
« on: February 10, 2010, 18:18 »
Do Pekins take longer to come into lay than other breeds? I have a 45 wk and 35 wk old hens who are showing no sign of laying. Does anyone know about Pekins as this is the first time I have had this breed?

 It is already about a hour or so lighter now each day, so I am hoping that it will be soon!
What colour eggs do Pekin's lay?

I also have a Wyandotte (40 wks) with obscenely red wattles who also isn't laying either! :mad:

I hatched my first pekins in September.......They are 26 weeks old and have just started to squat down. My Buff orpington banties (same age) have started laying this week.

It's not the years that age you, it's the weekends!!!
