EE, is she ready yet?

[Crippledturkey]

I have a few EE's who I bought as americaunas from a feed store back in April, and not a one has laid yet. I posted a pic of one of the hens, I know the date is off on the pic, but had a battery mishap LOL. My question is, are they ready yet they hall have a pale peacomb and pale face compared to the sex links and RIR's. thank you.

Depends entirely on their age. Most breeds start laying between 20 and 26 weeks old. Not sure what age EE's start laying, but it will be somewhere between that age range.

Not yet. Her comb is still too pink. It will get redder and bigger when she's ready to lay. I got my EE's the first week of April, and 2 of the 3 started laying about a month ago. The 3rd one still hasn't laid yet.

My EE's are at 20 weeks now, and I keep thinking "any day now, any day now"......

Getting close, but not there yet. She'll get really red around her eyes and beak when she's ready to lay.

My EE just laid her first egg at 24 weeks. Her comb was bright red. I think you've got a bit to go yet.
