If you feel under her vent (like you would feel for eggs in an eggbound hen) you can find her pelvic bones and check the spread of them. The wider they are, the closer to laying they are. Once you can get 2 + fingers between them you can expect eggs in a couple weeks.This is driving me crazy!! My girls are going to be 25 weeks tomorrow, and still no eggs! They look ready to me...although one still has a comb that is only bright red sometimes, though it's pretty red all the time at this point. I just wish they'd start laying already. I want my blue eggs!!! Here's some pics I took today (the silver laced wyandotte are the same age and I'm still waiting on them, too):
This is Nora, her comb is the not-so-red one:
And Cora, who I think should be laying by now:
What do you guys think? They look close, don't they? I think I'm losing my mind! I can't wait anymore! Aaaah!!!
Fart eggs are little tiny eggs, sometimes they have a little yolk, sometimes they don't. Usually they happen with new layers, really old layers, or after a long break in laying like from a molt.
I got my first eggs from this year's pullets today.Collecting blue eggs never gets old! These came out of my wheaten/blue wheaten/splash wheaten pens. The pullets that I kept in my other color varieties are not quite old enough to lay yet.
