Probably be a couple more weeks, closer to 20 wks old. And like your silkies they will start to lay when they feel like it and nothing you do will change it...lol

Don't forget to change their feed over when they start laying from chick starter to a layer mix.

Duh, guess I wasn't paying enough attention....lol.

I will go back to the answer I gave when you kept asking about when the silkies will lay.... when they feel like it. You might as well just make up your mind to be patient.

I know your chickens were killed. The point I was trying to make in my answer was you asked the same questions regarding the silkies about laying several times. The answer for the barred rocks is the same as it was for the silkies, when they feel like it they will start to lay .....
