What breed of chicken are they?

Most chickens start laying after 6 months, it depends on you chickens, what you are feeding them, and your weather. Hope they start laying soon.

how many do you have? We are in Florida, where are you?

 

[turkey girl 0964]

We have 29 chickens and two turkeys. We live in Arizona so sometimes we lose chickens to the heat.

I would say that both your breeds of chickens should be laying by now. But depending on the amount of light they have and the kind of food they get they may not lay as soon or as well as some chickens. If you are in Florida you should have enough light. But I would recommend feeding them layer pellets.

Our Maran didn't start laying till after 8 months old but our production red's, RIR, and gold and black sex link started earlier than that.
Depends on the chicken and so many other variables
