when will they start laying

[deathfromabove]

I have 2 barred rocks, 2 white rocks, 2 BO, and 3 EE. They are all 19 weeks old and i'm not getting anything yet. They should be laying any day right?

I usual don't expect new pullets to lay until their 24 weeks give or take a week

Yes, they should start laying pretty soon. Are you starting to feed them laying mash? And some fake eggs or golf balls in the nests may trigger them to start laying soon! Sorry if this didn't help....I tried!!

I also have 1 BO and an EE that are over a year old in with them and they have been laying awhile but I did put golf balls in the nest boxes also.

Are you seeing the "submissive squat" yet? What you do is walk slowly up to one of them, talking softly, and place your hand on their back. If they "squat" they ARE getting REALLY close. That's what I'm watching for myself! Good luck!
