My birds were hatched May 1-ish, and I only have 1 laying. She's been laying about 12 days now, and I swear every day the others will start any day. I think if the first one hadn't started to lay I'd be certifiably insane by now. The day before she started laying I was checking the nestbox 5 times a day... and I work FULL TIME (not at home, either).
My 2nd barred rock has been squatting for about a week now, and though my GLW haven't squatted, they are getting redder every day. I think they're going to take longer than the Barred rock.
In summary, today is week 24:
Barred rock #1 started getting bright red at 20 weeks, squatting at 21 weeks and laying at 22 weeks.
Barred rock #2 started squatting at 23 weeks and not laying yet.
GLW no action at all, but combs and wattles getting redder .
BE PATIENT!
