Are the combs turning red? If they are red it's getting close. I have had them lay at 20 weeks and some at 7 months depending on the line. I have heard some people say their Marans didn't start laying till 11 months old. I hope you get eggs soon. Please post pictures when they start laying.

if the comb is not developed and red ,than she is not ready to lay .
some of my marans did not start laying till they reached 8/9 months old .
most of the marans we have they come from line that are not well established/well bred . just outcross between lines .nothing is stable .
