Do they look like they're gettin close to laying???

The Girls will be 19 weeks next week

How old are your girls? They look a lot younger than mine did when they started to lay. Mine really filled out before they started and had more developed combs/waddles.

I think the combs and faces will be BLOOD red when they are close, at least that's my experience

You will notice the difference I am sure but they seem still pretty orange/pinkish

What breeds? They are beautiful

The one in the majority of the pics is my Light Brahma Lucy the black one is Rosie she's an Austrolorp? and the tan one is butter cop my bantam sized Buff Brahma her combs and wattles are REALLY red

Brahmas can be well over 6 months old when they start to lay, so don't hold your breath just yet.

The faces will be a lot redder and the birds quite a bit bigger before they start.....but they will.
