Egg laying age and their face color?.....

[longlegz86]

Does the color of the hens face (the red part) determine how old they are and when they will be ready to lay eggs; they are barred rocks? Mine look a little pink around the face still and wasnt told how old they were when we got them.... Thanks

my hen is 22 weeks and comb etc as turned bright red , she has been squatting for a few days and today there was a load noise coming out of the dog kennel YES THE DOG KENNEL lol it was my hen laying her first egg and it is massive

WOW! That is a whopper!!! I seen them squatting on the ground today but I think that is just because its cold and windy out. I was under the assumption they was 5 months old so maybe here soon. Hopefully.......

i think you might find it is squatting not the wind , i think after you see them squat can be between 5 days and 2 weeks to first lay . keep a close eye on them as i think they can lay any where as mine did in the dogs kennel lol

for you . i will let you know if i get an egg tomorrow
