Will hens kept in confined places lay

[orloffcornishmix]

I have 7 Cornish/orloff mix hens that are approx months old. At what point do hens normaly start to lay, and will they do so if confined to a small area with no outdoor run. At the moment this will be there place but am working on a run for the summer time.
