It depends on the time of year they're hatched, but usually around 4-5 months. I had some that I hatched this summer, but it was fall about the time they would've started laying, so they haven't laid any yet (that I know of).
That's one of the reasons I've been hatching this fall and winter. I was tired of pullets just getting old enough when the season and weather was working against them getting going. Hopefully starting in spring will work out better.
