No, they are large fowl.
She is my favorite colored bird. Ester is the EE that is laying right now. Sorry, I said she had a rose comb and I meant a pea comb. Her egg is the one on the far right. The ones on the left were double yolkers from my RIR, a large store bought egg, egg from my barred rock, and then the one from my EE. I guess it really doesn't look all that little compared to the white large store bought one.. It was just that the others where hugh! hahaha
Beautiful bird.!!! Mine are standards and 19 wks now I am so anxious lol. I go in there and give them extra treats and rock them and sill..... nothing lol! I guess I will have to be paitent.
The eggs look great, reall not small at all.

. You probably still have a few weeks to go if you're not hearing any egg song or seeing any squatting. On the plus side though, the later a pullet starts to lay, the healthier it is for them, and she may have an extended laying career because of it. She's probably not completely molting, I think they tend to do that around 18 months for their first time, and once a year after that. Young birds can go through a juvenile molt though, which is not as dramatic. Mine went through it at about 10-16 weeks and there were feathers everywhere for a time. Hope you get your first egg soon!
I've tried keeping them in the coop until after they've laid, they will just lay on the floor. I've tried putting golf balls and eggs in the boxes to show them that the boxes are for that kind of thing, nothin. I've tried setting them in the boxes over and over, nothin. I tried changing out the the "fluffy stuff" in the boxes, first I tried straw, then changed it out for shavings, still, nadda. They have found a spot up against a big tree that has a lot of brush around the bottom of it that they like. They dug out a little nest and that's where they have been laying any chance they get, otherwise, it's on the floor in the barn. I have three more girls that will begin to lay sometime soon and I'd really like it if my two rebellious, anti nest girls didn't teach them to lay anywhere other then the boxes!
