Prepare yourself for a bit of a waitWe have our very first chickens at the moment. 15 weeks old. Its been fun watching them develop. Got them at 7 days old. Can't wait to have some eggs.
Anywhere between 16 and about 28 weeks depending on the breed
Have you a plan for dealing with the hens when they have finished laying ?
We found ours stopped laying at about 2 years - but will live for maybe 6 years
It can be a real problem if your chicken coop is full of hens who have stopped laying and you don't have room to replace them
