How long after their faces turn red?!

She's closer than she's ever been!
I love this! 🤣🤣 Coming in clutch with the diplomatic answer. 🥰🥰. I've been trying ALL year to add colour to my egg basket, and it's been an almost comical failure. Out of three hatches, I only got 3 pullets!!! 🤬🤬🤬. One got predator-ed (totally making that into a verb), one was from a friend's egg and ended up laying brown, and Luna is my only one left! So I'm unreasonably anxious. Of note; I gave hatching eggs to some family/friends and they all ended up with multiple lovely coloured laying ladies 🤣🤬🤣

My sister's eggs carton - all layers hatched from MY eggs 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️:

I feel like I've been waiting FOREVER for this sweet girl to start laying!! (EE eggs are the most exciting/anxious to wait for! 🤣). Her face turned red around two weeks ago, and I'm just so dang hopeful every time I walk down to the coop! 😜View attachment 2473435

Did this we come without any of the floof on her face??? Anyway, she's more then due to start laying. I'm also waiting anxiously for my young chicks to start laying. Their also at that age.

I can't figure out where we're losing each other! She's an EE because she has the blue eggs gene from her father, and the brown egg gene from her mother. I'm sorry if I'm confusing you!
I guess I’m so confused bc the bird pictured does not look like an EE to me. It just looks like a regular austrolorp
