Hot flashes?

Here's a pic of my 19 week RIR and my 21 week BSL. Do they look red in the face or am I just wishful thinking?

Getting there! Their combs are still pinkish...

My RIR and BO's have been that way for weeks! I go out everyday HOPING I'll see one of their eggs Keeping hoping!!!!!! Mine are 22 weeks.

They're getting there. Not there yet though.

My RIR is also 21 weeks old and her comb and waddle are huge. Your photo looks like my RIR when she was only 13 weeks old. Do you have a light in your coop? My light has been on 15 hours a day. My RIR, BR, Golden Buff and Specked Sussex are all 21 weeks old with huge combs/waddles. Monday they started the egg squat and have been looking inside the nest boxes. Try a light bulb and give them more daylight. Do you have them on Layer Food? I cannot understand why your chickens look so much younger than mine, yet the same age.

Yup, Layer feed. Yup, 15 hours of light a day. But my RIR is 19 weeks, not 21. The BSL is 21. I guess my girls are just late bloomers!
