How old to these Australorps look to you?

[Chickiebaby8]

This photo was taken in June.

This one was taken later in the summer.

The hens have filled out but haven't started laying yet, but I think one just did. I got a little egg the other day.
There was a roo in the group (rescued, long story, good ending though) and he is a beautiful, big roo.

I just want to know how old they are so I can know if they are close to laying or not.

Thank you for any help.

if their combs are getting red and full, then they're close to laying. well, the ladies anyway.

My guess would be 20 - 22 weeks. They should be laying very soon!
