Most hatcheries that sell started pullets will ship them at between 12 to 17 weeks old.
Birds shipped younger than that are either day old chicks or within a few days of hatch.
The started pullets are quite expensive when compared to the day olds but they are nearly ready for laying by the time you get them.

What stage does a chicken become a hen?
An egg must incubate for three weeks, 21 days, in order to become a chicken. During that time the embryo inside develops into a chicken in much the same way that a baby grows inside its mother's womb. The difference with a chicken is that everything the chick needs is included inside the egg. It absorbs the nutrients as it grows, and by the time the chick is fully developed and ready to live outside the eggs the chick has completely filled the space. It hatches able to eat, drink, walk and run. Chicks typically stay with their mothers until they have all grown all of their adult feathers.
Should you feed Hens Laying food before they start laying eggs?
Yes. Most grain/feed stores have special layer complete feed that gives the new pullet the extra calcium and protein needed for good egg production. Hens raised for egg production should be started on this feed about one month before expected egg production. This means they can be switched from chick grower, over to layer mash or pellets at about 12 to 16 weeks of age.
