How long until these guys lay??

[Chickenma2021]

I have been noticing that my 4-5 month old rock crosses are doing the egg dance when I touch them! Some are getting really red and vocal too. How long do you think it will take for them to lay an egg? They have been like this for a week or so. I'm thinking a couple of weeks? What about you?

Egg dance as in they squat down and spread their wings when I touch there back.

It may take about 1 - 2 or so weeks after they start squatting to lay.

One more question, do they eventually stop squatting or do they continue? My 2 older hens that have been laying for a couple of months still squat just not as much.
