how long till first egg

[trunkman]

I just bought 7 chicks, 3 rhode island reds, 2 white rocks and 2 jersey giants, how long does it usually take for them to start laying, 20, 25, 30 weeks, just wondering?

Of those breeds, all I have is a RIR. She laid her first egg the day before she turned 5 months old.

My RIR laid first egg at about 26 weeks. No experience of the other breeds sorry.
