They should really start laying anytime now. Do you have any pics of them? When they do lay, they wont really be the best layers!

! Pleased you joined us! Most chickens would be laying by now - unsure on Silkies. Might ask in the Silkie thread in the link below and ask. Good luck to you!

I raise silkies. It's anywhere from 7mo to a year. I've noticed since we started free ranging, they're getting more protien and lay sooner and more often.
 
It was comb pics I was after so can't really help. Have any of them submitted to you yet?
