Chicken SCratch poultry?

Mine are 24-weeks-old. I would say my Welsummers started first around 20-weeks. My Black Copper Marans started around 22-weeks and I'm not sure if my Lav Orps are laying. I'm getting peachy/buff colored eggs, but I'm not sure who's laying what (I have 30 hens).
Just be prepared for a lot of Roos! I got 20 chicks and out of every 5 chicks per breed, I got 3 Roos, 2 hens.
Not anyone's fault. Just annoying.
 
Hyacinth was the last of all to start laying which isn't too surprising as she had a lot of growing to do. She's huge! @ Miss Dottie, I love her fluffy petticoats :) She has the most amazing color, very pretty in the sunshine.
 
I lucked out and out if 25 chicks, I got 8 roosters. I've never got such a favorable bunch, doubt I'll get that lucky again!

The Welsummers and Marans should lay a dark brown egg and I believe the orps lay a lighter tan colored egg.
