Easter Egger thread!

[Little Coop on Salt Creek]

I apologize if this has been asked on this thread already! We have 4 Easter Eggers that are 18 weeks and 1 day. Our lightest combed girl is pacing around acting like she's looking for a place to lay. She has been being more talkative today and she's making an absolute mess out of one of the nest boxes. I have been told that bright red, swollen combs/wattles are a sign of eminent laying as is the "squat". She doesn't seem to be meeting those requirements, but she's the only one in the nests and tossing stuff around like a mad woman. Should I be worried that something is wrong with her or should I assume she is getting ready to lay? I will post a pic of her shortly!

I went in to get a pic and the nest box was all disheveled again. I looked down and found....
I am sooooooooo excited!!

so... I guess the answer is not all Easter Eggers fit the traditional chicky mold, ha!

My Easter Eggersbought as Ameracaunas) (and 2 California whites. The blue/gold girls lay green eggs, the wh/gold lays light cream egg, and the black EE lays a light tan egg. the California whites lay white eggs. I now have 6 EE chicks, 3 pullets and 3 roos. (was hoping for all pullets) getting prettier all the time. all hens 4 years old now. They love chore time. follow me around for dog food, cat food, cow food, what ever they can steal. Full bin of grain in their coop, and still want something else.
My little roos started looking/acting like roosters between 7-10 weeks. until then thought they all might be pullets.

15-16 weeks old too early to start laying for an EE?

Mine started laying at 16wks. (4 Mo). Little eggs of course, then larger as they grew more.

This is a MPC Easter Egger. Probably the most adorable bird in the flock. Hopefully she lays blue or green. She is also in the top left corner of my icon, back when she was a young chick with fluffy cheeks.
