When do Wyandottes generally start laying?

[JPinVT]

My SLW and BLRW are about 19 weeks old now. One or two of them started laying at 17 weeks, another couple at 18, and I'm still waiting on more than half of them! Their tiny eggs are so adorable though

Mine is 17 weeks and squatting. Maybe I'll get an egg in a few weeks? She's pretty small yet, compared to my three 21 week old chicks.

Got my first egg from one of my GL Wyandottes on Saturday. She was 24 weeks on the nose.

Maybe the costumes scared the egg out of her?

My Silver Laced Wyandotte started right at 20 weeks.......

Mine never laid an egg. She was an internal egg layer.

I have four hens, hatched in February. They started laying about July 2. I was on a trip at the time so do not know exactly when, but they were about 23 weeks. They are still laying small eggs, and we get about 3 a day from the 4 hens.
