Barred Plymouth Rock chicks

[Apld]

They look close to laying!

They’re about 18 weeks, so not sure... their noises and chatter has changed just recently though. So much personality!

My girls are 12 weeks and their voices have been changing for a couple weeks. They are sounding like chickens and not like chicks anymore. They’re going through a mini molt. I’m hoping in the next 6 weeks they’ll start filling out and look like your girls!

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

They will start laying any day.

This is the other one, her comb isn’t quite as red... still growing!

Yup! That’s so funny. I have one slightly behind on the development too.

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

Yep, she is close as well!

They’re huge! No eggs... yet!

Well, I'd say their combs and wattles could get a bigger and more red before they start.

I bet within a week!

She squatted today, so that’s a good sign!
