Chickens havent layed any eggs

No nothing i think theyre still too young but i have read buff orps lay early

I have actually heard the opposite, that buff orps lay later. My other two are black sex links, that are known for laying early. Although I think it is really just the genetics of the bird as well. One of my black sex links started laying at 17 weeks, the other at 22 weeks. One of my buff orps started at 20 weeks, while the other isn't even close yet. Who knows, right?

I collected my second egg today over three days. The first of my girls. I think only one out of five is laying. They are around 5.5 months. Bantams.

I could only get these 2 pics as they move around a lot

They are cute! Another thing I noticed with mine was when they got close to laying, their legs got lighter, nore white than yellow.

They may not. That could just be mine. Mine also had their "ears" turn white before laying. Mine might just be weird, though. Lol

Generally if they crouch down when you go up to them, it's going to be about a week before first egg.
