most hybrids will start to lay somewhere around 24 weeks old, tell tale signs that they are coming into lay is squatting when you go near them and their comb getting bigger and redder.
Please don't use text speak as ome people find it difficult to understand, thanks  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

Welcome to the site. When your girls start laying there is nothing better than your first new layed egg on toast.
