You have used Bantam as if it were a specific breed of hen. Bantams are just smaller versions of a standard breed. Almost every breed of chicken is available in standard (large) or Bantam (small).
On average a chicken will start to lay eggs at about 7 months old. Some breeds earlier, while other breeds mature later. The peak laying happens for about 18 months and then begins to drop. Most hens stop laying eggs at about 3 years old.
See "related links" for breed descriptions and rate of lay.
