Backyard Chicken Coops
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments OffEgg Laying Season for Hens – At what age do hens start laying eggs?
I’m building a custom chicken coop in my backyard.
Hens start laying once they are 6 months old. The laying season is usually spring/summer.
Keep a light on in the chicken coop to encourage hens to lay during fall & winter.
The eggs start out small in the beginning, but soon increase in size. Expect a healthy, egg-producing hen to lay one egg a day during the first year of laying.
