Happy Birthday Ben!
Lovely collection of eggs. We are currently getting between 4 - 6 eggs a day out of our flock of 12 (1 rooster, 7 hens and 4 pullets) which is quite good for this time of year. Should be full steam ahead in the egg department by July. My Australorps lay best in winter which makes no sense at all however no complaints here. They start moulting in Autumn and everyone is laying again by winter.
Your SPW should start Laying eggs soon. We have one one 3.5 year old hen that didn't start laying until 65 odd weeks. That is extremely unusual from my line of birds as they usually lay at 22-24 weeks, however you always get an individual hen that likes to do her own thing lol. Wyandotte's can be notorious for maturing late.
