When do they start laying??

Our RIR's were hatched in late March...they started at about 15 to 16 weeks.

I hope you get some eggs soon. I have one EE that still has not layed. Had her since April 1st, yes April fools. She looked full grown when I got her, but I realy have no idea how old she is. I'm guessing at least 7 months. May not help but know you are not alone waiting for those eggs.

We have one hen who just started laying yesterday. We bought all of ours around my birthday(April 5th) and the next few days. They were "day olds" from TSC , but I'd say they were more like a week old. We haven't even gotten the nest box set up yet--thought we had some more time(Nesting area was supposed to be next weekends project....) She ended up laying in a corner of the the barn that the horses run in and out of during the day, behind the water tub. Only found the eggs because the barn was being cleaned, and she started flipping out when we got close.

She looks to be a Golden Star/sex link?

We got ours in March. 12 ISA Browns, 12 Grey Leghorns. Started laying 2 weeks ago, getting 17 out of 24 not bad....just have to have patience. It all comes in due time, keep fresh water and feed available at all times. Good Luck!
