Hi, I posted my chickens a few weeks ago when their faces were just turning red. Here are the "closest to laying" ones. They are 18 1/2 weeks old! Booo, Had to buy more eggs today. Every time I buy eggs, I think....this could be the last time I have to buy eggs! Hopefully I will have eggs soon!!! My best hopefuls for my first egg are the Barred Rock, Domino and the Rhode Island Red, Red. They are getting pretty red faced! Here they are enjoying an old apple served up on a frozen watermelon rind!
This is my EE, Milly. She actually has been sort of red faced for weeks, but her comb is finally filling out. She is also 18.5 weeks old. My other pullets still have "fleshy colored" combs. No swatting yet.....I am thinking within the next two weeks!!! ?????
