I am pretty sure this has been asked before but how old are hens when they start laying normally? Just curious to when we should start expecting eggs. We have Buff Orpingtons.

Anytime from 16 weeks up, all chickens come into lay on their own schedule and local environmental factors.

Those Buff Orpingtons tend to be quite a bit later later than the egg laying hybrids. Mine were laying at 32 weeks.
