Aracaunas start laying at about 5-6 months of age. BUT they tend to NOT start laying in the winter if it's cold where you are. So, for example: an Aracauna hatched in February will start laying in July or August. A hen hatched in August, however, may not start laying until the spring.

Chickens, whether the chicken is brown, white, blue, red or, or... all start laying eggs when they are mature enough to do so. The average age for chickens to start laying eggs is 5-6 months of age.
