Do you mean peeping? Going from Chick sounds to adult clucking sounds? I think it was about 12-15 weeks for mine, same as the rest.

yes I have one who sounds like she triing to grow up from the chirp to the big girl sounds . the funy thing is she the smallest one of them all .

My light brahmas started laying at 7months old. They did good as I learned and had them brood and raise 2 "batches" of chicks. My question now is how long do they lay? They were giving eggs really good then this spring they all got broody and I blamed my egg production reduction on that. Then it was horribly hot. Some were molting a little. Now it's been 5 months since any of the hens have been working as a mamma. I have 7 hens and I'm getting only 1-2 eggs a day? They aren't that old, 1 1/2 years old. Even leghorns I have had usually layed for 2-2 1/2 years for me. Out of desperation I penned them all in the coop and made some makeshift coops that gave them lots of privacy. I still only got 2 eggs. I'm giving them good lay pellets. No corn. They have almost an acre to forage in. After my experiment of cooping them up I know for sure nothing is stealing the eggs. There were no signs of it. Suggestions? I should definitely be getting more than 2 eggs from 7 hens correct? Oh by the way yes they have light on in the coop for 10 hours a day so lack of light isn't the issue either. They layed just fine during the winter last year???
