When will these chicken breeds start laying eggs?

[Tookie]

Hi! So I got 7 chicks from Ideal Poultry on February 24th, they hatched the 23rd so they are a little over 11 weeks old. I got 3 Easter Eggers, 2 Welsummers, and 2 Dominiques, all supposed to be pullets. A EE and a Welsummer ended up being cockerels. (anyone want them? ) So I have 2 EEs pullets, 1 Welsummer pullet, and 2 Dominique pullets. When will they begin to lay eggs? I was thinking the beginning of fall. Thanks!

All of those breeds should start laying around 5-6 months old. The wait for eggs is tough!

Ok! I can't wait for some colorful eggs! That's the reason I got those breeds, for colorful eggs! But there are several more breeds I don't have that lay colored eggs, I think I need more chickens.

YW My Dominique Daisy is in my profile picture. She's such a sweet bird. And lays almost everyday!

Awww, she is cute! One of my Dominiques is very sweet too! She chirps at me when I'm near her and she follows me around! She has a wing issue so she gets extra attention! This is thread about her wing.

5 months and change. I've bought 2 Wellsommers neither survived more than A few days. They both would have came from HooversHatchery

Sorry your Welsummers didn't make it. Try ordering from a higher quality hatchery or a breeder.

I've got some news! One of my EEs started laying a week ago, they other EE started laying a few days ago, and one of the Dominiques started laying today!
