#7 Thehipchick, “ In general, your flock won’t lay any eggs until it is at least 6 months of age.
Between 6 and 9 months, you are going to have fairy eggs.
Between 9 months and 3 years is where you will get the most medium to large-sized eggs with most laying chicken giving off consistently sized eggs.”
