And the 6 month mark isn’t a magic number or anything.
It’s just a rough average. Some are sooner , some later.
Do they squat when you approach them and hold a hand over their backs like you’re about to reach down and pick them up?

And by squat, once you see one do it you’ll say “Ahhh! Now I know what squatting means!”

The spread their legs wide, get low, elbows out, and freeze in that position.
Sometimes they even thump their feet real fast.

Any time now then!
Keep them in again tomorrow. Fake eggs. Open a window for ventilation...
Maybe a little recess late in the day, with supervision.
Tell them NO SNEAKING OFF!

The nest boxes need to be as inviting as possible. Mine were scared by the nice fake grass I put in their nest boxes but as soon as I replaced that with pine shavings, they couldn't get in there fast enough. On day 2 of egg laying, I was rewarded with a cute egg in a next box next to the fake one.
