When will they lay

[Amy 4]

My chickens are around 18 weeks old and not one of my 4 have laid yet. How long until hey lay a egg?
Can I do anything to speed up there egg laying?

 

[kriz the farmer]

THEY CAN LAY FIRST EGG IN BETWEEN 16 TO 24 WEEKS
AND YOU CAN SPEED UP EGG LAYING BY FEEDING A LITTLE BIT MORE PROTEIN AND CALCIUM

I have 30 week old hens that aren't laying yet. It depends on the breed of chicken, the weather, what they've been eating etc a lot can affect when they start laying

18 weeks old is very young for a pullet to start laying

Well hey are rangers and it is about 20 degrees ok England at the moment and we have been sold pellets which they have been on since we bought them from the seller

This chicken looks most likely to lay first out of my flock how long do you think it will take it

You just never know. I’ve had them start right around 20 wks, and some that take up to around 35. She looks healthy and happy so keep it up. The eggs will come.
