Why haven't my chickens laid yet?

[Noraraine1]

I have 4 chickens and they are between 20-22 weeks and still haven't laid. They were between 1 and 3 weeks when we got them but the place didn't say how old. I have 2 barred rocks and two rhode island reds (RIR). They seem to be he healthy. Does anyone have and suggestions or tips they would be appreciated?

They are not ready yet......20-22 weeks is when some birds may start laying, but it can be 28 weeks or later. The eggs will come just continue to provide good nutrition, hydration and housing

I agree with Ol Grey Mare.
I have two barred rocks and they didn't start laying until they were 28 weeks

My barred rock and New Hampshire red hens are 26 weeks..very happy and healthy but no eggs yet. the BR started with the egg song activity so should be soon. i have other breeds that reliably laid at 24 weeks..they are all different. dont worry!
