It takes close to five or six months for a female chicken to mature sexually and start laying eggs. This is variable depending on the breed.
Roosters usually take a few months more to become sexually active mostly because of physical size.

∙ 13y agoIt really depends on the breed of hen. Most hatcheries sell breeds that mature quickly and will therefore start to lay at about 7 months (sometimes earlier).
The first eggs will be "test" eggs smaller and less well developed than what your hen will lay as her oviduct matures. Some breeds like Brahma's are late to mature and will not lay until almost one year old.
Average is about 6 to 8 months old.

What age are kittens considered to be a cat?
Cats can reach reproductive maturity and go into heat at 5-7 months. However, letting a young and not yet mature cat breed comes with increased risk for both mother and litter. A kitten is still developing mentally and physically, and there is a high risk of health complications with the mother and the kittens. Responsible breeders usually wait until their cats are over 1 year of age (sometimes they wait until 2 years old) before letting her have her first litter. This insures the cat is fully mentally and physically mature and is an excellent standard of the breed.
