Glad to know my 30 week freeloaders are not alone. As a newbie to chickens I have been getting concerned.

My RIR pullets and Deleware pullets started laying just over a week ago. They turne 23 weeks old tomorrow.

Amerecuanas and some of the other breeds take almost a year to mature so don't feel bad, at least a RIR won't scare the crap outta ya like the Amercuana's with their face feathers and looking like raptors from Jurassic park when upset

I am at 30 weeks this week and my RIR just started laying. Don't be too worried. I know I was! 3 chickens with 4 eggs in 3 days.... so far so good! Hang in there!

So, instead of Thanksgiving eggs, it's probably gonna be New Years. Bummed.

How many weeks does it take for the chickens to start laying

On average most chickens start laying between 16 and 22 weeks sometime longer some times less

Awesome! Mine seem to be laying medium sized eggs at the moment but I'm sure they will get bigger as the chickens mature.
