They will lay best at 1 to 2 years of age. All pullets (female chicken under 1 year of age) lay small eggs at first and after a while will lay larger eggs. Younger hens will lay 1 egg every 3-4 days. A hen 30 weeks old can lay 2 eggs every 3 days.
Laying hens vary in size and how long they lay through their lives. Generally, they begin laying around 18 weeks of age, but sometimes it will take longer for them to get started. They reach their peak production when they're about a year or 2 old, laying fewer eggs as they age.
