How long does it take on average before you can get eggs from your chicks?

 

[BarnyardChaos]

It varies, depending on the breed. What breed are your chicks?

I have a mixed group of ladies. Americana sex links reds isas alstrolpes and lace

I would say based on that group around 18 weeks you might start seeing some eggs, but weather, hours of daylight, feed, each individual chicken's body will all play into it as well.

I have Rhode Island Reds, Barred Plymouth Rocks, Australorps, and various mutts. I usually see eggs at about 24-26 weeks.

Most breeds start laying between 18-26 weeks.
Time of year and diet can make a difference.
