Hi there I got my 2 warrens yesterday(21 weeks old) called Sweetpea and Lilo Lil. How long do they take to settle before starting to lay again?

I'm not sure but I think POL is 26 weeks, so they won't have been laying yet.
A woman's place is in her garden.

what food are you using? Make sure grit is available, I use a cat porcelain dish as now on concrete. When they come into lay provide oyster shell as well.

Piccys please

They could start laying anytime from now. But at the end of the day they lay when they are ready. Even from the same hatch there can be massive differences of timing. :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

Watch their combs, they will go from pink to red just as they are about to start laying. :)

They will also start to 'crouch' when you approach them :D
