How old are chickens when they begin to lay eggs? - Hilux - 12-17-2014

How long does it take before they start laying eggs?

4-5 months, during which you'll only be spending money. It will seem like forever.

Mine started @ 5 months. The earlier they start the smaller the eggs will be.

5months

Some can be as long as 6 months if care is not taken.

Thanks for your contributions.

Under optimum conditions of good nutrition, ideal day length, adequate housing, and other good management practices, most layers should begin egg production at about 20-22 weeks of age.
