So some lady at my moms work got eggs from a farmer down the road for her kids to hatch out chicks. Well things came up and they couldn't keep them so I took them. 4 of the 6 turned out to be roosters and I can't keep roosters where I live so i had to get rid for them. At first I thought these 2 were speckled Sussex but now I'm not so sure. Does anyone know what kind of chickens these are?

They're mixed breed hens. could be a mix of something Red and something partridge or black breasted red, some wild-type coloring. Either way, they're both hens and look like they should be nice layers of brown eggs for you

Well good, that's what I have them for to lay some nice eggs!:) however I say they are about 21 weeks old and I have no eggs from them, and no eggs from my bantam who are 22 weeks now

They may still be a bit young. 6 months is average. Some lay younger, but many lay older. The closer the time comes, the harder it is to wait.
 
Yeah you're prolly right, just been use to all my birds laying at like week 18, one of my hens laid at 16 weeks before so I'm just use to earlier laying hens
