Any idea on breed?

[Kolijah]

Ok thanks guys!

Do any of you happen to know how long it takes for them to start laying? I got them Saturday afternoon. They were laying eggs at my neighbors. We have two nest boxes set up and their roosts and then a heat lamp in their coop since the neighbors had one set up and they were used to it. They can't free range because I have dog that kills chickens... but they have a nice little fenced in area to roam in. We've been leaving layer pellets out for them to eat through out the day/night as they please and then throw some scratch feed in their pen each morning.

Sorry about all the questions. Just excited for my first chickens and to learn about them!

My experience has been that when they are in a new environment, they stop laying briefly. It may take a couple of days and up to 2 weeks before they resume laying. I have not seen any go past 2 weeks. That is just my personal experience. Black Sex Links are Excellent layers of large to extra large light brown eggs.

Could be an Australorp and RIR mix since you mentioned those breeds, otherwise just a barnyard mix.

Legs look like Australorp, but black chickens are hard to tell the breed. Is she green sheened in the sun?

Does anybody know what breed this is?

If I see her chest,I would know.Any gold?If so she's a black sexlink/Black rock.

Is she large and no type gold feathering,just black?If so she's a Jersy giant.

If she is just black with nothing I described up top,she australorp.

From my experiences with new birds coming,it could take up to a 2 weeks or so.If you get them user to you,(Which assists),they'll probably feel more comfortable laying.
