Thanks, it's really very satisfying after four months of work. She keeps laying every day almost for a week now, missed one day only. I hope my other pullet start laying soon.
I've posted a seperate thread before seeing this but here are my first eggs:

The coin on the photo is 18.5 mm (0.73") in diameter. And the eggs are ~40 grams (1.41 ounces).
Guesses were correct. They turned out to be (1) Cockerel, (2) and (3) pullets. And I got my first eggs!

Hi everyone,
I got my first eggs this week. I was on vacation when the first egg arrived I wasn't expecting yet as they were not even 19 week old. But my father sent me an email when I was on vacation with a picture of the first egg. It was 18 week and 6 days. :)
I found a second egg one...
Could all of them be some sex link? When they were day old chicks #1 was yellow, #2 was black and #3 was whitish with three black stripes on her back. I guess I've read somewhere that sex links male chicks becomes lighter color and female chicks become darker colors. But #3 is not that dark...
#3 is not behaving as a cockerel at all. I would be very surprised if she turns out to be "he". She also the lightest one.
I was thinking #2 was a cockerel when they were 4-5 weeks old. Then #1 started to develop a bigger and redder comb and wattles. #2's comb stayed the same size since.
Hello all,
My previous post was one month ago about these birds. Here is the link of that post https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/674885/what-breed-and-sex-are-these-chicks-pic-heavy.
I took new photos today, they are 8 weeks old now.
I guess it's clear that #1 is a cockerel and #2 and #3...
