I hatched about 30 chicks this spring. Easter to be exact. (4/20/14) none of them are laying and i can't figure out why?? Any thoughts or suggestions?

They are all Ameracauna rooster over Australorps, Barred Rocks, Gold Laced Wyandottes, Delewares, EEs and RIRs.
The only thing I can think of is that the sire, being an Ameraucana, may have passed on possible later-laying genetics. Some Ameraucanas lay a little later than that some other breeds. I've heard "8 months" bandied about a lot when it comes to Ameraucanas and their "cousins." That's the only thing I can think of.
