How long after reddening of comb will my pullets start laying?

[Lazygaze]

My 4 month old pullets’ faces have started seriously reddening over the last 2 weeks so I’m hoping for eggs soon! What’s your estimates on how long I’ll have to wait? V excited!

What breed are they?

I've had eggs as early as 16 weeks with mixed breed pullets.

2 to 3 more weeks maybe, my Swedish flower hen started at 21 weeks while my golden Laced Wyandotte started at 32 weeks.

Thanks ! Also, will they be really noisy?! Am hearing rumours about ‘egg song’... how long does it last?!

Last about 5 minutes of nonstop squawking and loud, lol. My rooster mimic there squawking which makes it even longer.

Egg song can be anywhere from less than a minute to like 10+. My neighbors can't complain- their toddlers are outdoors and screaming by 6:30 am on weekends! My Red Stars are really quiet, while my RIR is

ANYWAY, my girls started laying at about ~21 weeks. Since then, I've gotten at least one daily egg. Love em!

When they start to squat eggs are usually soon to follow.
