hello @DubG3428 ! welcome to BYC
the answer to your question is it is variable, between about 16 weeks at least and a year at most. It depends on the breed, the conditions, the diet, and the individual bird's speed of development. What have you got?

It depends on the breed. My Kurdish pullets started laying when they were only 4 months old, and went broody when they were five. Now, one of them is mama of 5 chicks and she is only 6 months old.
