6 eggs from 9 or 8 hens today! New record for my flock haha middle of English winter too!?! Been -1c alot the time?!! Just had a house hold light on in there coop on a timer for 16 hours of light a day.. all just coming out of point of lay original ones 8months ISA browns n newer younger 5 months (2) Columbian blacktails, (3) what I believe to be golden comets the guy didnt know what the beige gold really light coloured commercial egg layers was but after looking around I think there golden comets, n one of those looks like cud be a rooster as getting quite pronounced sharp spurs n bigger wattles than even my 8month old hens at 5 months old!? So that's why I said 6 eggs from 9 or 8 hens lol that one also has very light silver or gold laced markings around perimeter of all it's saddle feathers n the others dont ah well at least il have a rooster to fertilise and protect lol I was planning on tryna breed my own for self sufficiency anyways..

Congrats on the new record, they look like lovely big eggs!

If you have Golden Comets, or some other variation of red sexlink, the boys will have a totally different coloring. It’s more likely that you just have a girl who is maturing faster.

Edit: Here is another thread with pictures to show the difference between the genders, so you can compare: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ex-link-male-looks-like.794210/#post-11444656

Well the 3 I'm calling golden comets are just what I think they look like to me, I wasn't told there breed he said maybe they cud be gold lines or somthin but all he's hens he gets as chics in bulk deal off a breeder that only breeds production egg layers so those 3 are something really light golden or beige that lays an egg a day haha and no there not buff orptingtons as layin an egg a day and way to small n slim

And this is the pic that made me think cud be golden comets.. very similar to this light gold one here I found online..

And this is the one I think is a male with the biggest wattles in flock and spikey spurs compared to the rest of the hens.. with the pretty laced markings on saddle feathers.. not come out to well on cam tho...

Ok. Camera shows nothing but a baby mouse checking the nesting box once. No rats, no snakes.
They are simply not laying.
