Yes but at 7 weeks???

She must be one sexy chicken is all I can say!

Does she look like she's going to start laying soon?

I do know my bantam boys have been more hormonal at that teenage age than the big boys. I now have a girly only pen and the bachelor pad - aka the animal house.

I'd be surprised if she starts laying soon, she's only 12 weeks old, but she has just learned to cluck. What do I look out for to tell whether she is about to lay?

Is she a bantam? They start earlier than LF. Is her comb turning red yet?

She is a bantam, still has a fairly yellow comb, but her feathers have filled out nicely and as I said her peep turned into a cluck in the last couple of days.
