How close it she to laying eggs?

My EE, June Bug. I don’t know her exact age, but somewhere between 15-18 weeks. How close is she to laying eggs?

EEs usually dont lay until 24-29 weeks. Mine laid at 17 weeks. Her comb was much darker and bigger. I think you still have a while.

Impossible to tell, especially if you're not sure of her age.
Even then, EE's are a mix of various breeds and some lay earlier than others.
Most of mine have laid by 18-22 weeks.

Here's some signs to watch for, while you are being very patient

Ok, good to know. I just wanted to get an idea. Her face is redder than most of my other chooks, minus a few boys, lol.

I would expect to wait another 6-10 weeks to see an egg, though you could be lucky and get one sooner rather than later.

I was hoping for sooner! Lol. I have a Super Blue egger who is 15 weeks, how soon would you expect for her? Her face hasn't reddened up yet.

I would assume a Super Blue egger is just a blue egg laying EE, so around the same time I would expect. She might also just be a branded blue egg laying breed, but a picture would be helpful.

Hmm...I'll post one later, can't right now. I think that they are EExWL.
