The cockerals want to start "playing" at mating at 4 months but the pullets don't seem interested til 5-6 months. I have seen some experienced breeders say that you should not hatch from anyone under 6 months. Just better to wait until they are more mature so that you have healthier chicks.
Have had pullets start laying at 4 months of age but some are slower.

Usually around 6-8 months it seems, but it depends greatly on what time of year they're hatched. The first ones I hatched (October of last year) started between 6 and 8 months, then some I hatched in February or March are just starting to lay.
