I think my salmon faverole pullert who is 3 months old is laying eggs. They are a small brown egg. Her adopted mother is a light Sussex who lays creamy colour eggs. Is this possible the average age is 5 months

Answer:
Yes it is possible Gail – birds can often breed at very young ages. We too can breed at a young age. The world record for a human mother is 5 years of age! The baby lived too.
