No, not all chickens start laying eggs at 4 months. The age at which chickens start laying eggs can vary depending on the breed and individual bird. Some chickens may start laying eggs as early as 5-6 months old, while others may not start until they are closer to 6-8 months old.
At approx. 5 months or 20 weeks your chicken should start laying eggs.
Most chickens are between 5-6 months old before they start laying eggs and will lay eggs for about two years. Some chickens will start laying at 4.5 months, but this is rare and probably due to hormones in their feed.

Here's my limited experience: Bobwhite quail hatched on 5/13/09. One egg was laid on 9/16/09. No other eggs to date. I have 5 males and 7 females housed together in a 3X5 raised pen. The pen is outdoors in Georgia. I had read that egg laying begins at 5-6 months, but one of mine obviously laid at 4 months. The shell was thin in some spots and thicker in other, which I'm told is typical for the first egg or two.
Orpingtons are fairly moderate early maturing and should lay their first egg at about 7 months old. Start them on laying mash at about 5 months for best eggs.
Maybe its too old to lay eggs now or its too cold to lay eggs
