        Mine laid the first real egg in the nest box at 17 weeks.  I thought I'd seen some soft shells that resembled egg shells in their bedding and until she repeated laying soft shelled eggs after the first real hard-shelled egg, I couldn't confirm it was, indeed,  an egg shell.  So she may have started laying around 16 weeks but soft shelled eggs that broke and I never saw them.
