When do Wyandottes generally start laying?

[nbenevento]

My SLW didn't star laying until somewhere around 28 weeks or so.

Both or silver and our golden laid within 24 hours of each other at 18 weeks 3 days.

Don't be too jealous, we have a wellsummer that didn't lay until she was 11 months old.

My White Wyandotte (my Avatar) just started yesterday. She is around 19 weeks old. BUT.......

........................ her first egg was a TINY SHELL LESS egg You can see it here next to my BSL egg (the BSL egg is egg #4 from that chicken) Huge difference in size, not to mention NO SHELL.....Nothing today. I have read it can happen in the beginning as their bodies are regulating. She has plenty of oyster shell etc.
However she is the only hen out of 3 that is doing the infamous "squat" It is SOOOOO funny LOL

Cant wait to get a good egg from her
