Hens should start laying eggs between the ages of 18 and 22 weeks under optimum conditions (14–16 hours of light each day), with proper feed, housing, and supervision.
Around 6 months of age, young female chicks "come into lay" or begin laying eggs. While some chickens may begin producing eggs as early as 16 to 18 weeks old, some may wait until they are 28 to 32 weeks old (nearer to 8 months old) before they begin.
