I have 6 pullets from TSC, that should now be 12 weeks old - we picked them up on 3/20:

I actually believe we got what we wantedt; 1 BCM cockerel (crows), 1 Ancona cockerel (crows), 3 barred rock pullets, 2 black sex link pullets, and 1 Buckeye pullet. None have crowed, and the boys started that at least 3 weeks ago. Today I found an egg: 20250610_181756.jpg
My theory is that one of our 14 older hens (5-7yrs), laid what I call a menopause egg. ??
My other half thinks one of the pullets did it - one of the barred.
If I had to pick one, I'd choose one of the blacks, or none at all. Thanks!

I appreciate the replies so much. Gives me more confidence in my opinions. I've been learning, thanks to everyone here.
All of ours are pets (Therapy Chickens), so we don't routinely cull. I'm often surprised by someone's egg (Stealth layers). Thanks again:)
