Those pictures are more up to date

Ruby is a 20 week old Black Australorp that I am anxiously awaiting eggs from

How close does she look to laying? How big will their comb be when they get close to laying anyway??

Thank you!

She should lay her first eggs within a few weeks. I don't think the comb will get any bigger, just maybe a tad more red.

She is getting really close, I'd say a couple weeks, mine started to lay around 20 weeks, is she around that age?

She turned 20 weeks old yesterday

I'm so excited for that first egg, glad she's getting close!

I just noticed that in all the pictures I took a few days ago, her comb looked a little more pink than the red it is today

I think it might have been the lighting
Here's a few more pictures I took today~
