How much longer till they start to lay?

[elmoflim]

I know some people on this site are really good at guessing what time they will start to lay from looking at their combs. So I'm curious if you guys can guess how much longer till mine will start. Thanks so much for all the help!

Yes, can you see them? The app gave me some problems so I had to redo it on the website

Some (looks like two) Will be in the next few days, all the others might be two more weeks.

In the last picture, the BO and Columbian looking birds have bright red combs.

As motorcyclechick stated chickens go through puberty their combs and wattles come in and generally speaking go from being flesh colored to the healthy red that most breeds have as mature birds. This fullness and color is the most indicative sign that they are about to begin laying as of course egg laying is a result of sexual maturation for chickens.

No problem we can use it as a free for all ask away. I'm confused about it too

Are you still confused? I can do a thing with your photo, and point the two out. Or, you can tell me what is still unclear. It is not bad to keep asking until you understand.
