Disclaimer!
These laying times are general guidelines and can shift from year to year due to weather, seasonal changes, and natural flock rhythms.
Also, the month listed reflects when the birds typically begin laying—not when your order will necessarily ship. We first check fertility and then ship eggs in the order that purchases are placed, so your ship date will depend on both fertility and your spot in the queue.
