Laying eggs soon?

[chickenlittle21]

Do any of you know about how long until my chickens lay eggs? they are 4 months old today and their breeds are buff orphington, brown leghorn, Americana, golden polish, white crested black polish, rhode island red, cinnamon queen, golden comet, saffire gem, black leghorn

You have another month or two to wait.
The fact that days will start getting longer faster by then, you may be closer to 5 months. The leghorns, RIRs and cinnamon queens may be first.
The following article will help you determine who is about to lay.

I wouldn't expect any of your birds to be close at this time of year.

My new buffs started laying between 4-5 months other breeds up to 6 months before they laid. Since its winter I am not sure if they will do it the same. Mine were always in the spring or summer months,

Thank you. I live in Florida so it is practically summer all year long.

It isn't about temperature but about whether light period vs. dark period is increasing or decreasing.

We have 2 Speckled Sussex and 2 RIR that we got a couple days old Aug 11. They just started laying this week 4.5 almost 5 months old. We got 2 SS eggs yesterday and 2 RIR eggs today (8 total since last Saturday) so I think it's safe to assume they're all laying. We're also in FL.

I just got my first egg on November 21, 2019. My girls were born June 26, 2019 so that's about 21 weeks. It seemed like forever to get that first one and in the beginning they would just lay one pretty much anywhere in the coop. After about 2 weeks they got the hang of it and now i go out at lunch time and there are 4 eggs in the nesting box. Picture perfect.

Am in Miami and two of my three Buff Orpington’s took 8 months to lay. The other one started laying at 22 weeks.
In other words, they will lay when they lay.
