Are these white leghorns close to laying?

[j0hnharris]

Should I expect eggs from these white leghorns or is it early for that yet ?
They are 3 1/2 to 4 months old I think but not sure

3.5 to 4 months old is a bit early especially this time of year.

Anywhere from 16 to 21 weeks is when they start laying. My pullets started laying week 20.5 and that was about when everyone else started reporting theirs laying on the forum this year.

that's right but I've heard that they lay early

Getting close. Leghorns have been our first to start, as early as 15 or 16 weeks.

Leghorn combs will be larger and redder just before laying than the white birds in the picture.

Much larger combs and they flopped over to the point they were almost covering an eye.

Im not sure about the large combs.. they just need to have bright red combs. My hens started laying at about 20 weeks.
