when should chickens start laying
When in the world will I get my first egg? Chickens typically begin laying between 20 and 23 weeks of age. Their first eggs will likely be small and produced every few days but by the time the chickens are 30 weeks of age they should lay a regular sized egg and regularly {1 egg every 26 hours}. The first year a chicken lays you can expect a full production - about 20 dozen eggs.
