One of the girls isn't earning her keep . Cracked it open and laughed when I saw the tiny yoke in there!

First egg from my 21 week old BR! I now have 2 out of 4 laying. Very light in color with the brown funny "paint" job

When you go to pet them on their back, they kind if "squat" down and spread their wings out a bit. I understand its a sign if maturity from other posts I've read on the forum. You can google chicken squat or go on YouTube and watch videos to see what it looks like (that's what I did too).

Amazing colors! Congrats!!

Thank you @whoops & @Happy Chooks

Thank you @DuginMT! Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised this morning . I'm not sure on the type of RIR. I bought her at our local feed store.

You're really close though! Is she doing the chicken squat yet?

Others on here would be better to ask then me. I'm a newbie with the chickens. I have 4 chickens that I got at the same time (1 day old) and she is the first to lay. Her comb and wattles are also largest of all my girls.

My 19 week old RIR just layed her first egg today. Waiting for my other RIR & 2 BR's to start. Here's a pic of her 2 days ago when I was asking the same question

My first egg today!! Woohoo! From my 19 week old RIR that I commented about 2 days ago. Just waiting for her RIR & 2 BR sisters to start laying. Not very big, but it's perfect

Thanks @DuginMT. These are our first chickens so I have no idea what to expect. So far she's the only one squatting but I hope the rest will follow soon. Can't wain for out first egg! :-)

I have 4 girls 19 weeks old. This RIR girl started doing the chicken squat today when I went to pet her. Anxiously awaiting our first egg..any guesses on how much longer?

Any luck figuring out how/why your chickens are disappearing?

Pure luck!!

Thanks donrae.

Here are updated pics of my BR taken today at 7 1/2 weeks. One them I know without a doubt is a pullet, but this one has the same feather coloring but comb and wattles are just a little bit more pronounced and pinkish colored. Do you still think pullet?

The "waiting game" is so hard! Thanks for your help!

Thank goodness! I'm having so much fun with them and getting quite attached. They have 2 RIR sisters also. Couldn't imagine parting with them! Thanks!!

New chicken mommy and my fingers are crossed they are both pullets. They are both about 2 1/2 weeks old (not sure if its too soon to tell). Any ideas?

Here's the second one..fingers crossed I have 2 pullets!
