Introduction. The age at which your hens will begin to lay depends on their breed type. Hybrids are the earliest birds to start laying, starting about 1 month earlier than non-hybrids. Non-hybrids, which include our rare and heritage breeds, typically begin laying about one month later than hybrids. Most of the egg laying hybrids start laying at 4 to 5 months of age. These include Pearl White Leghorns, Black Stars, and Red Stars. Hybrid egg layers are bred by crossing two different lines or breeds. They are known for their excellent productivity and high feed conversion ratio.
And there are breeds that are egg laying machines putting out 300+ the first year, 200 the second and about 120 a year for the next 3 years, averaging between 600 and 800 for a 5 year lifespan, the productive life of a good laying hen. As the hen ages they stop laying every day and eventually stop altogether.
