When will they lay?!?!

[RioLindoAz]

Hello!

I have two Barred Rocks and two RIRs. They are all 7 months old. They are not laying and have a yello vent. IS THAT NORRMAL???????? They are on lay crumble. Can you guys give me any hints on when they'll start laying?


Thanks,
Chicken_Boy

Of course not! My rooster does though.

Do they free-range? Could they be laying outside somewhere?

Feel the width between their pelvis bones. Basically feel for the two bones just under their vent. If it is soft and wide, that means they are laying or about to lay. The vents should look moist too. If vents are moist and bones are wide, I bet it's going to be an easter egg hunt.
