I'm really confused on age of laying hens. I have 4 hen's that are 26 weeks or so and 2 that are 17 weeks. The older ones have been giving me eggs for a couple weeks. On a typical day I get 2 blue/green and 2 olive however, yesterday I got 3 blue/green and 1 olive.

They don't change their egg colors so should I assume I have a new layer at 17 weeks?

Here are the two that it could be

Blondie

She has turned red recently, however I figure with her being a Buff Orpington that 17 weeks would be way too early.

This is Jet, as you can see it's hard to tell if she is getting really red. I have noticed her wattles are getting a lot bigger in the last couple weeks and she is getting wider in her fluff butt.
