I have 2 EE pullets

[McPickle88]

Hi! I have 2 EE pullets (hopefully) that are 20 weeks old. They have not started laying yet. When do they usually start? Most of my other hens started around 18-22 weeks.

Also, What do you think they are crossed with?

They look more like game mixes to me, but they could be ees. I've heard that ees tend to lay later, both pullets are reddening up so it should be soon.

I got them at Co-op in March and they were labeled Ameraucana's.

If they are some sort of ees, the typical Ameracauna or Cream Legbar was a few generations ago, they might not lay colored eggs.But they might.

I hope they do! I mainly have brown layers and wanted a variety.

I think you are closer to 3-4 weeks away. Just not red enough yet. Post when they do.
