The Question that just won't go away.

The phrasing just changes - When will I get eggs!!??

When do buff orps and barred rocks usually start laying?

Anywhere from16-28 weeks of age.

You will get eggs when you have completely lost your mind and can't wait any longer. Then when you are about to give up and just bought a carton of eggs, then they will lay.

when the hen is good and darn ready on her time on her terms then you will get eggs

My Buff Orpingtons laid at 18 weeks, my Barred Rocks at 20 weeks.

you need tp have the "talk" wiht them- explain that you are hungry and that they have 2 choices- they can either start laying eggs-- or get cooked-
