Hi!

It'll happen! Soon. The waiting is so hard. You mentioned they are "about" 6 mos. If you bought them when they were a bit older and don't know a hatch date, they might be a bit younger than you are thinking. 20-25 weeks is typical, so you're close. There are lots of signs, squatting, dark red thick rubbery comb and wattles, here's a link to that

Here's a really fun informative thread for folks waiting, new layers, and lots of the associated questions. Best of luck, it'll be so exciting!
