They start laying at about 6 months old, but yes, that first year they will lay eggs regardless of the amount of vitamin D they are producing due to the sunlight. Something to do with being young I guess. They will even out by next year.

So I have over 2 dozen laying chickens and it costs me about $100 bucks a month to feed and bed them. And midsummer I am getting 2 dozen eggs a day. So you do the math. I don't sell the eggs, but it is pretty easy to "break even" once you have everything you need for them.
