when should I expect eggs?

Now that I think back, my australorps started to lay a little bit later, I have 11 hens, when they started to lay I would go to the coop when I heard the laying song to see who was laying, I finally caught one of my australorps doing the laying song way after the others, something like at least a month later than my other hens...

Waited 23 weeks for our first egg, and it was just this past week! You can see in my signature what kinds I have, and it was the barred plymouth rock that has started laying. None of the others have yet!

Most hens start laying at about 20 weeks, some a couple weeks sooner, others a couple weeks later, it just depends on the hen.

The next day, a delaware (thing 2) Started,
the day after that the other delaware (thing 1) started
