I have 6 chickens, all different breeds, and only 2 are laying eggs

[Noles8588]

I have six birds, all 5 months old. The Leghorn and the Silver Campine are both laying eggs almost daily for about 3 weeks. The Australorp, Silver Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red and the Dominique have not started producing eggs yet. The only reason I can figure out which ones are laying the eggs is because all the eggs I’ve gotten so far are white eggs and the other 4 are supposed to lay brown eggs. Should I be concerned that the others are not laying eggs yet, or does it just take different breeds longer to produce eggs than others. I appreciate any advice or information. Thank you

Even more than breed, each one is a individual, some fire up at 4 months others may wait until 12 months, so 4-12 months. Day length effects this also, as does feed, etc.. I wouldn't worry yet,,,

Patience, my friend, patience. They’ll lay when they’re ready.
