Is there a chart somewhere that shows when different breeds of chickens can be expected to, on average, lay their first eggs?

Isn't that part of the Henderson Chart?

Great,
CW- around 17 weeks
BA- 16 weeks- 25 weeks
SLW- 24-30 weeks
Light Brahma- 30 weeks
Of course some will lay earlier, or later
I have had both of these breeds and they laid by 18-22 weeks.SLW- 24-30 weeks
Light Brahma- 30 weeks
They'll start telling ya when they're close to laying too. Look for reddening of the waddle/combs, the distinctive squat when you approach them and interest in the nest boxes themselves.Thanks.
The chicks arrived at the farm store on June 26, so I should probably be opening my nest boxes in early October then -- assuming I'm seeing other POL signs.
