When should I be expecting.

Hello. I am new to raising chickens and I was wondering when my two buff orpingtons should be laying. One is probably around 16 to 15 weeks old and the other is probably 13 to 14.

Orpingtons start laying around 5 to 6 months old. My Black Australorps waited till EXACTLY their 6 month. Buff Orpingtons can lay a bit earlier, sometime during their 5th month of life. So expect some laying between 20 and 24 weeks of age.
