[CHICKENS-101] Re: Not maturing

 

Hi Rita; Although some pullets will start to lay at 16 weeks 20 is more like it and 24 weeks is not unheard of. I would not invite your slowpoke to dinner just yet. A couple more week will not make that much difference and besides she might put on some weight. That would make her at least dinner for two.

The 4th ones body has grown, but her comb/waddle and voice (yes voice - still "churppy" sounding) haven't done much. The comb/waddle are only pinkish at best and very tiny. So do we "keep"her and hope she matures or do we have her for dinner?? Are some of just slower than others??
