Does anyone look close to egg laying PICS

[rrgrassi]

My RIR's are more of a maroon or brick red color.

Well, I am not at all that great at telling breeds, but that fourth pic down from the top looks like a blue laced red wyandotte?

Don't know how old the pics are but they all seem too pink in the combs and wattles for laying. The combs and wattles get real red - you can't miss it - when close to laying time. Also, you can't hurry it, I'm sorry to have to tell you that cuz I know you want those eggs!

That bird is more brownish and black. Not even close to a RIR. There is a completely different between your bird and a RIR.

If you want my guesses here they are:

1. Partridge Wyandotte or Plymouth Rock or even an EE
2. Buff Orpington
3. EE
4. Splash Laced Red Wyandotte (occurs when two BLRW are bred together)
5. Buff Orpington

So could anyone post a pic of a chicken that looks like her?

If she has tufts and/or a beard she is an EE. The pics look like she has them. We have one with similar coloration.

Picture # 5 looks closest to egg laying. Less than 2 weeks. When you hear the egg song, they are days away, or less:

This will get on your last nerve .

Dear Lord, will it ever.

This is a RIR pic .

So is anyone here still waiting for that first eggs?

Compare your first hen's picture with a picture of a Black Sex-link or a golden laced wyandotte ....your cross hen should start laying earlier. Ours were hatched in March and we are now getting eggs every day from the sex-link hens. But they will start showing more comb and the color will be deeper red. As for the squat...if you don't want a rooster, just give them a shake with your hand on their back and they will be happy.
