Hello BM, you can find whatever you need about doves in this web page: http://www.magicauction.com/dovehotl...20archive.html and that included how old does a dove have to be to lay eggs? I hope that it will help you....

They can lay as early as 6 months of age, but you don't want that to happen!!! Don't allow her to lay until she's at least 18 months, but preferable two years of age.

If she's becoming a chronic layer, remove stimulating items (i.e., another dove), stop petting her, gradually decrease her daylight hours to 10, move the cage, rearrange what is inside the cage, etc. As a last resort, your avian vet has medicine to stop, or at least slow down, the egg laying.
