My RIR is not fluffy and she is about a year and a half. There was a dog attack and her tail feathers have not grown back in yet but here's a picture of her. Just her rump is fluffy and I think she didn't get fluffy back there until almost a year old

She had a pretty nasty wound on her back. It's been a few months so I'm hoping when she molts they will grow back

Oh I say it was horrible.

How old are they when they start to lay? Mine are 5 months
Cry baby has been squatting for a week or two. The other red has no name and not squatting but likes to stay perched higher then the flock and will perch on anything like the water holder ect

My RIR was the first to lay an egg in my flock. They were all born first week of June last year and she laid her egg on Oct 25.. So about 6 months. She was squatting for a couple of weeks. And the week leading up to the egg she spent alot of time in the nesting box digging around and making a nest... then she laid it in the run haha!
