1 Female fleas cannot lay eggs until after their first blood meal and begin to lay eggs within 36-48 hours after that meal. 2  The female flea can lay 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.  The female flea consumes 15 times her own body weight in blood daily.
In general, chicks start their egg laying at about 5 to 6 months old and reach peak production at about two years.   Egg â¦ laying starts to decline at about three years. As the chicken ages, egg production is less reliable until they stop completely. Silkies start laying (usually) between 7-9 months, which is later than most chickens, I have an 8 month old that hasn't started laying yet, but a plus to that is, the la â¦ ter in life your silkies lay, the more eggs you will get, and the more consistent with laying she will be.
