Haha. Too funny.

I have three RIR and 2 sex links (one gold, one red), all around 18-20 weeks. All three RIR have huge combs and w's. My red sex link is red in the face, but smaller c&w. The gold sex link's face is still peach. My RIR all squat for me at approach. But still no eggs...

Ha ha mine squat like a wave effect when I move my arms over them

, they've all been laying for a good 2 months now (12 of them 10 red crosses and 2 leghorns) i have gotten 12 eggs a day for 3 weeks straight at one point

, I was giving some away and eating egg everything, and finally I had some that took a few days off but now were back up to speed again,Once they start squatting for you its only a matter of time, so get ready you'll have eggs soon, and some may be squatting and just haven't done it for you yet, make sure theyre on layer and getting enough calcium. You'll be posting your first egg very soon!!!

I sure hope so! My fortune cookie at the Chinese place tonight said "don't put all your eggs in one basket." I almost died. :-/

How long ago did they start squatting? Squatting is a sign of maturity for mating, which also indicates eggs are coming soon. Usually they will start laying within 2 weeks of squatting.

It's been about a week since the first RIR squat.
