A few questions about pullets laying eggs

Do they all squat for you yet? It is most likely one that squats and has a big red comb.
All squat except for the Australorp. Star (Golden Laced Wyandotte) started squatting first. Our Rhode Island Red, Barred Rock, and Wyandotte all have red combs and wattles that are pretty large, especially our RIR.

So today we got our first egg from one of our 20 week old pullets!:celebrate:weeI have a few questions though. How long after a pullet lays their first egg do they usually lay again? Also is there any way to tell who laid this egg? None of the others have laid yet so I'm wondering if there is anything that would be different about the one who laid it? We have a Golden Laced Wyandotte, Buff Orpington, Rhode Island Red, Australorp, Barred Rock, and Easter Egger. They are all 20 weeks old and will be 21 weeks in a few days. Thanks for your help!
We got our second egg today! Same as the last but a little more round. Hopefully the others get the message to start laying soon :rolleyes:
 
My RIR and Australorp laid big brown eggs. The barred rock's eggs are big, brown, and freckled. The Sussex and Orpington laid smaller beige eggs. The Wyandotte' s 'patterned' eggs were large and often double yolks at first.
