It sounds to me like maybe they're older than you were told, but not meaningfully so. Maybe a month or two. If she's not laying she's still quite young and that's usually what matters most of all.

Ok, because a 12-20 week old hen is probably not laying at all yet. I've had plenty of roosters crow really young and have developed crows by 12 weeks, but never an egg.

Is the hen laying?
