Any one want to join me in waiting for eggs, posting and comparing notes? - Page 3

I don't have pullets but I do have hens that I just brought home that I'm waiting for them to start laying.  I have 1 that is laying consistently and another that has been laying the last couple days although I don't know which one it is yet.  

 

I have 5 red sex link hens.  They were spring babies I believe.

Also...where is everyone getting all these new emoticons? I know Nifty was talking about adding new ones, but I don't see any in the list unless for some reason mine isn't updating.  If you're getting them off-site...disregard the question. :)  I like the one hanging from a tree limb.

 This is my BR taken in October.  She has always had the biggest comb and her wattles started earlier than the others.

This is my Silver Laced Wyandotte taken in October.  She has the wrong type comb which unfortunately happens with hatchery birds.

1000This is my shy Buff Orpington in October.  She is pale and not much going on in the way of comb or wattles.  I will use the October pictures on my five girls as the starting point and I will post November pictures to compare the changes as they mature.

Below is Spike in November.   I see a big difference in the size of her wattles and her body is looking more mature. She was hatched August 1

Here is Matilda in November. There is too much light in this picture, but there is no real change in her comb and not much going on in wattles, but she is growning nicely.
