Araucana hens are considered a moderately early maturing breed and will often produce their first egg at about 20 to 24 weeks of age. Purebred Araucana hens are rare so the pullets age at first production will vary depending on the gene mix. Eggs from a purebred Araucana will average 55 grams or small and they are not prolific layers.
