Thanks! She does look really pretty!Yep. My girl started laying a few weeks after her comb redden up real bright. 1 year and a few weeks old.View attachment 2276735
Looks more like a Cream Legbar mix.I read somewhere when pullets are about to lay an egg their comb gets redder. This is my 17 week old leghorn mix, do you think she is close to laying? Is there a way to tell?
Yes, that birds comb looks pretty red, but not plump and glossy.Bright red, often glossy comb and waddles indicates a healthy and sexually mature bird.
Not always true. Cream Legbars have white earlobes but lay blue shells.I watched a youtube today that said the color of their eggs can be determined (before they start laying) by the color of their earlobes. Judging by the photograph, her eggs should be white. When she finally lays her first egg for you, please let us know if they are indeed white eggs, please.
Yes, here's how:Try a pelvic check- feel between the two bones very near to her vent. If you can fit at least 2 fingers in between them, she should be close!!
I read it somewhere, but her comb and wattles have become bigger and redder in the last couple of weeks. Compared to one of her sisters in the back she looks quite different now. Do you have a breed that is slow to mature? It can take some more time with those.How true is that? I feel like all my girls have red combs, but only one is laying so far.
