Wow, that's a bit late Ros! :shock:

My youngsters came into lay around August but have stopped laying again now. You'll find the colour of the eggs changes through the season too - the darkest seem to be at the beginning and end of lay.

I am getting more eggs now from my Pekin ladies than I've had most of the summer as they spent alot of it being broody! Its great though because from what I read in chicken books I thought they stopped laying around Guy Faulkes night but it looks like theres no stopping them now. 08

None of my hens are laying at the moment either VP :roll: The pekins were the last to stop laying (much like yours they had several long breaks from laying Clairethebear!)
The youngsters from this year haven't started laying yet but we're in nonrush and it's bitterly cold so I can't say I blame them
I'm buying in eggs from my nan at the moment as she has lots of ex bats and hybrids and they're still laying at the minute but come spring I'll still be buying her eggs and incubating(or selling) the ones from my hens
