Oh thats good then, sounds like once they are settled in and back to laying you'll have a broody in no time! .. You could put some fake eggs in a nest box to encourage them to think it's safe and to lay there.I was told the white one is a year and a half and the other two are about a year. They also told me the white one is very broody and lays lots of eggs.
I was lucky when I bought an old Silkie hen (4 years old) she laid an egg the day after she was at my place! She is often broody too and still a great layer years later! Another I got off same lady was 3 years old and laid through Winter.
