Do as a rule bantams come into lay a bit earlier than standard sized breeds or later? I am prob going to get rid of 2 of them to a a girl at work but I wanted to give her a bit more info when she takes them. Cheers all Ben Back to top Henwife Joined: 31 Jan 2006 Posts: 3469 Location: Monmouthshire Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 8:42 pm    Post subject: As a rule of thumb I expect pure breeds to come in to lay by 26 weeks if they're hatched before the end of June. At least it means that when they lay before then it's a lovely surprise.
