Chicken Behaviors and Egglaying

What age do hens start laying

 

[Tuffoldhen]

Anywhere from 19 weeks to 6 months and older. Just depends on the chicken breed.

Shortly after you despair of them ever producing an egg, and go out and buy a dozen eggs at the supermarket.

I agree with the other post. I had a couple that started at 17 weeks but most of mine started laying from 20 to 24 weeks.
