What age do white leghorns lay?

[Cinnamon11]

I have 1 19 week old white leghorn pullet. I heard they start laying at 16-18 weeks. When will she start laying? Is there a chance she’ll never lay? I’ve also put fake eggs in the nesting box.

Just be patient. Chickens don't read the information on the internet She'll lay eventually.

Mine started just shy of 17 weeks but she had a much redder and more developed comb and wattles than yours in the picture so yours may just need a little more time. I'm sure she will just right at the moment she's good and ready. I have 3 slackers giving me anxiety right now too so I totally get it!

They start precisely when they want to and not a day before. Yes there is a chance she will never lay.

Thank you is there a high chance she won’t lay?
