My EE's are now 19 weeks and I think I have 2 buff mix and they are about 21 or 22 weeks and still no eggs. They don't sit in the boxes or nothing. The weather is getting nicer and I keep hoping they will start.
 

If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, how much is a snake in the bush worth?

My two EE's are 29 weeks and no eggs yet.  They just got beat by the silkie who is a week younger (silkies are supposed to take the longest to mature).  My EE's have no interest yet in laying.

My two hens started at 5 months, but my third hen just started a week ago when she was 10 months old (probably because it's winter)!
