How long does it take for chicks to start laying eggs? I know it may differ with breeds but about how many months on average? Thanks for any help.
 
Sorry, there seems to be some kind of glitch in the system. He is asking at what age a female will start to lay.

It can vary anywhere from 16 to 22 weeks for production breeds or 20 to 28 weeks for others. Very slow growers may take longer.

It is also effected by the time of year. Coming to point of lay can be delayed by winter.

My production hens didn't lay till about 24 weeks and my SLW didnt lay till 7 mths of age, so it can vary alot, but they will lay so just hang in there. Also if they are showing all the signs of eing at POL then maybe just check around the yard or coop to make sure they are not being sneaky about it and laying them somewhere you wouldn't expect.
 
Newbie, I have 6 br, 20 weeks old. I found a soft shell broken egg this morning in the coop. Does that mean they're starting to lay?
