    My McMurray production reds are almost identical to yours! Mine are 20 weeks and have full red comb and wattles. Any time now I think.

    Considering there are two SLW AND 1 RIR, logic would tell me the RIR would be the most different of the 3 eggs. So logic would tell me you are correct.

    My RIR are suppose to be production ones from McMurray but I'm pleased at how dark most are with two being the exception. And Brooster my cockerel is getting huge. He is almost 17 weeks and brick is the perfect way to describe him. Almost like a body builder Rooster.

    I was wondering about this myself. My hens will be 14 weeks this coming Friday the 11th. Which means they are approaching laying age in the midst of a season change.

    P.s these are Murray McMurray birds. Some have been going through a Juveinile molt I can only assume as feathers have been everywhere but you can hardly notice much loss on the birds. It has also been a hot summer here in Edenton NC.

    This is brooster and some other flock members at 11 weeks old. They will be 12 weeks old Friday. I have caught brooster crowing in the mornings all ready. He only seems to do it in response to the roosters you can hear that other people have around us. I didn't realize they would crow so soon.
