Our five new girls took a lot longer than normal to start laying. Normally they should start laying by four months but it took more that six months for ours. I think it's because we put them in with the big ones too early so they weren't getting the chick feed, which is higher in protein so helps them mature faster.
We're still not sure about one who may still be a rooster. I haven't been able to determine if there are five distinct new eggs yet. But there hasn't been any crowing so fingers crossed.
