Comb/wattle size and egg laying

[Montymoo]

I have 2 14 week GLW’s, as well as a golden cuckoo maran and a BJG that we are guessing are about 22 weeks.
From what you can see in their comb and wattle development, any chance of eggs before spring?
Are their ages even correct?

They appear to be younger than 22 weeks old to me. Egglaying is not imminent, but they may start prior to spring.

Way too pale,. They will become cherry red. About 3-4 weeks after they brighten up, they will lay.

Thank you for the info. Do you think closer to 16-8 weeks?

Thank you! I can’t wait to see which one of these clowns lays first

There's no way to guess their age that closely, you'd need to know when they hatched for that.

I guess e just wait and see then. The guy we got them from couldn’t find the Barnevelders we ordered so we took these 2. He didn’t know their hatch date. Very annoying.
