Now, about that question... when do Olive Eggers start laying eggs? Well, it's not like they're going to start popping out eggs like a chicken piñata as soon as you bring them home. No, no, no! These birds take their sweet time, and it's usually around 18-24 weeks (that's about 4-6 months) before they start laying their first eggs.
But don't worry, the wait is totally worth it! I mean, can you imagine biting into a freshly baked cake and finding out it's filled with delicious, creamy, olive-green eggs? Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea - it's a big deal! And, when they do start laying, Olive Eggers are known to be pretty consistent, laying around 200-220 eggs per year.
Now, I know what you're thinking... "What can I do to encourage my Olive Egger to start laying?" Well, it's not like you can bribe them with treats or anything (although, that's not a bad idea!), but you can make sure they're getting enough light, food, and water. And, of course, a comfortable and stress-free environment doesn't hurt either.
