How long does it take for an EE to get old enough to lay?

Depends


Depends on the particular hen, on their breeding line/genetics, on age when fall comes, a whole bunch of things. Does she look like when is starting to get red combs and waddles?? Up here, if they weren't already starting - or getting really, really close right now...they would most likely hold off until Feb. (I've only had one or two hens that have started to lay after Nov. 1st, but before late Jan/early Feb.)

That said, you are in a much more southern latitude than I am, so you may not have the same experience as me. A woman from Virginia moved to our area about 5 years ago, and panicked her first fall here...she asked me about the sudden drop in laying of her hens she brought with her.....it was because we have a much more drastic loss of light than they did in the more southerly state of Virginia - they slowed down, but never stopped laying there - and the slow down was much, much more measured. She was afraid something was wrong (as you know, if hens are sick or something, egg laying is frequently the first thing they stop to help with self preservation.), But, nope, her hens were fine and started laying again as usual in the early spring!



@Logar
It depends on the bird as they are mutts. But the most common thing I have seen people say is between 22 and 26 weeks

That is a good general estimate, but again, this time of year...that can go out the window depending on time of hatch, hen, and the ensuing decrease of daylight.

It depends on the type of hawk. Coopers hawks are know to hunt in/through shrubbery and heavy brush. Goshawks also!

Goshhawks got their name from the actions that people say and do.
“Oh my gosh a hawk!!”

I’ll see myself out.

I wonder what sort of SHRA tax bgmathteach will share with us

Remember I like stripe, wattles and funky combs, and fuzzy legs

unfortunately, I'm not able to post my own pics at the moment. camera is not working, and I just can't afford another one atm...and just plain old too much going on right now in my life.

Sooooo, @Ponypoor , you will have to settle for this:

I’m planning on flying over Yellowstone national Park soon, but wow there’s so many FAA regulations and park restrictions to deal with. My hard deck is 2000 feet above ground. I can’t fly lower than that to take pictures. The park rules for private planes can change depending on ground activity, migratory birds, (possible bird strikes), herds of larger animals moving throughout the park. So I’m doing my research and choosing the best times to go.

He loves it here! He finally settled in over the weekend after being shy for a week. And Ric Flair is so far very chill.
