Around 20 weeks-ish

Ok that's what I figured,they are 20 weeks. They are completely free range so I better start looking I guess!! Thanks for the info!!

Are they doing any of the egg-laying things? Singing the egg song, squatting, spending time in the nest box, pelvic bones widening, tail feathers raising?

 

[Redbeard22]

They are doing all of that, but they have been doing that for a few weeks so I was just curious when they were supposed to lay.

They definitely could be hiding them. I found my chickens hiding eggs.

Well they are completely free range no fences nothing so they could be anywhere!! I have been looking where I have seen them lay down sometimes but no luck yet...
