[CHICKENS-101] Re: After mating how soon do the eggs begin?

 

So, just because my chickens have started mating, it does not mean that they are getting close to beginning egg laying.  I guess I just thought that they would not be receptive to the rooster until they were mature enough to begin laying eggs.  Kinda a weird.  All my other animals don't mate until they are mature enough to handle carrying their young.  I know that chickens don't carry their young, but what a waste of energy for the rooster.  Just don't seem right.
