Those are so cute and colorful! Easter Eggers? Congrats!

I only have one 'real' EE that I bought as an EE. The other 5 are barn yard mixes.

Hi all!! I have a few pullets but Coal, my BSL, is about 6 months old and I am anxiously awaiting her first egg (although I know it could be next year before she actually gives me one) I am hoping she will start soooon! lol
My other pullets are only 9 weeks old so I know I have a while before they start to lay...with my luck they will probably start laying before my BSL

I have 3 hens, 2 have been laying for weeks now. The newer, RIR, about 22 wks, nothing yet. Now, it looks like she's molting (not heavy) and the weather has gotten colder and days shorter. When the timing is like this, does the hen wait until the following Spring to start laying, or might she actually start during winter? This is Texas, so there's rarely a significant amount of days where it's bitterly cold and cloudy.

So, question about the "egg song" Do they start that BEFORE they lay or just afterwards? My BSL is being kinda noisy, but idk if that is only when she isn't right by my Roo's side (They are inseparable)
