One year on the hens before they will lay. Get the chicks early and they will start laying 1 year later, earlier in the year.

I have last years hens that were hatched in Feb of 2005 and started laying in the middle of Feb 2006. Later hatches, hen lay later.

I doubt it. They will produce fertile of next year July- Sept.

You want fertile eggs as early as possible. It take 20 weeks for RNP to mature with full colors. If the birds are hatched in July, add 6 months.
