When should Ebony start to lay? NEW UPDATE!

[ChickenPeep]

Hello fellow BYC'ers!

I have a chicken named Ebony who is exactly 19 weeks old today. She is a silkie cross. She is either a silkie- Ameraucauna, Easter egger, or (Not as likely) a D'uccle cross.
I know this is tricky due to the breed possibilities, but do you think you could tell me about how soon she might lay?

Thanks!

UPDATE!
Today, Ebony is exactly 23 weeks old. And guess what... her comb is very very large and red!! I'm super excited!

Could any of you make a prediction on how much longer it might be before she lays?
Thanks!

20-24 weeks is pretty much the standard for almost any breed. I prefer they wait since I've lost a couple to being egg bound.

Probably 25-30 weeks with silkie and americauna blood. My leghorn layed at 33.

Allright, thanks!

I just

Ebony! She's so cute!! I would also say 24-30 weeks old till she lays her eggs!

Thanks!
I hope it's soon. She's 23 weeks now.

25 weeks old and still no egg.

But, judging by her comb, it should be coming soon!

27 weeks. Still no egg.
