Too funny, but this thread was my lucky charm I guess. You'll notice above that I said my Buff Orp should lay in about a month. Well, WRONG, my Buff Orp (Amelia Pond) laid her first egg TODAY!!!!!My buff orp is 22 weeks. Her face just started turning red about a week ago and her pin bones are not three fingers apart yet, so I figure she'll lay around last of June, first of July, which would be 26 weeks. My barred rock laid at 18 weeks and my Easter Egger laid at 17 weeks. My australorpe looks like she'll lay within the week at 23 weeks. Huge red comb and wattles and 2 3/4 fingers between pin bones. The faces of my 22 week old white jersey, buff brahma and BLRW are getting pretty red, but I think they'll be at least 6-8 weeks yet.
Medium size, and a good shell.
This is Amelia Pond looking all pleased with herself.
