So how long do you think its gonna take for them to start laying?

My leghorn started around 18-19 weeks. That's her in my avatar, so you can see her floppy red comb.

This is my Leghorn the day she laid her first egg at 16 weeks. Look at that comb!

Wow thats a big comb my chicken's comb size is half as yours. are you sure about her age she seems older than that?

I'm positive. I got 7 chicks from my cousin's farm when they were a couple of days old. Compared to the other pullets in that flock (other breeds), she's the smallest body with the biggest comb.

I'm not sure, maybe another 4-5 weeks. Mine started at about 4 1/2 months but they looked older or bigger than those in your pic. I got mine at Tractor Supply.
