    Is she close to laying?

    I will! That gives me hope that your hen looks similar. I am betting mine will start squatting very soon then.

    Is she close to laying?

    That is a way better price AND has better reviews! Guess I will have to visit Tractor Supply Co. We have been using Amazon since I'm lazy. :D

    Is she close to laying?

    No squatting yet, but I was hoping like her comb was looking like she was headed that direction. :idunno

    Is she close to laying?

    Currently I am feeding this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZDB1780/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But I am looking to switch because they don't seem super interested in it.

    Is she close to laying?

    She is just about 32 weeks. Does her comb look like it's getting close to her first egg? It still looks pretty small to me but seems to be getting a bit redder. She is a buff orpington. Her name is Sunny :)

    Do Easter Eggers lay later?

    I think you're getting there! Her comb is getting pretty developed. I'd say once you seen some squatting, you're within a week or so.

    Too early to crow?

    A lot of those look like roosters. I got 2 buff orpington pullet chicks, 1 turned out to be a rooster and looked a lot like the ones in your pictures around 6-8 weeks.

    Milk Crate Egg Box-roosting on top=poop

    I would probably just cover the top with some cardboard or something!

    Play a round of: who laid this!?

    My guess is the cream crested legbar. She looks like she is mature enough to be laying, especially coupled with the song and dance you're describing!

    Do Easter Eggers lay later?

    My Easter Egger (who was also sold to us as an Americauna, but is definitely an EE) started laying just after 29 weeks. She grew up in the hot TX heat which I think also probably delayed some development. If you post a better picture of her comb and wattles we could estimate how close (or far...

    Chickens finally started laying - my intro

    I want to eat it but it's just so beautiful! However, she has been laying every day since so I suppose I can start cooking em up :)

    Review by '' on item 'Easter Eggers'

    I love my easter egger so much! She is the friendliest of my entire flock, jumps on my shoulders and lap while I am in the backyard, and squawks like a pro to let me know she's laying an egg. She is also the top of the pecking order and sort of a protector of our flock. I love this breed.

    Is my BO getting close?

    Yes! If she is submissively squatting, should lay her first egg in a week or so! So exciting.

    Buff Orpington's still not laying :-(

    My 29 week old buff orpington is also not laying yet. Her comb isn't even as red as yours. It's normal - her sisters (easter egger and silkies) are laying, they are free range with organic feed. Everyone and every chicken hits puberty at a different time :)

    We got our first egg! But.....

    If you have other egg shells, also you toss those out into the coop. Chickens eat them plain and use the calcium to build their own eggshells! Hopefully your next eggs will be normal within a couple days or a week if they are getting sufficient calcium. They should become normal size in a month...

    What attacks at dusk?

    Dusk does sound more like opossums and raccoons, but hawks or owls are certainly a possibility. I recommend a catch and release humane trap and securing them in a covered run. Or, run fishing line across your yard in 3-4 foot increments criss-crossed to prevent aerial predators. Cold pressed...
