Eggs ?
« on: November 20, 2010, 14:49 »
Hi all I have four welsummer pullets about 26 weeks old they have not started laying yet and I don't expect them to start laying until after Christmas but has anyone any idea about when they should start laying ie : January Febuary? (PS sorry if its a dull question but I don't know the answer oh yes they are running with a cockerel) many thanks Mike  ::)

Hi, they will probably start laying once the nights start getting lighter - though I don't mean the 22 Dec lol!

Probably end Feb, beginning of March :)

keep a check on their combs, they will get bigger and brighter then the eggs will follow shortly after that - hopefully by February you will be getting lovely terracotta coloured eggs  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
