It is possible to get older hens but it's best to get chicks because they'll imprint on their 'parents' and location. They'll be big enough and have enough feathers to go outside in about six-eight weeks. Most chickens start to lay when they're four-six months old. We'll have to wait a while for those yummy home-grown-eggs.

They're so cute! I didn't realize you had to get tiny chicks. How long until they get big enough for laying eggs?

Your new girls are so cute. You realize that the girls in your house by far outnumber the boys now. I can't wait to come and visit them.
