Had a talk with the 24 non-laying chickens. MIFChick, my noisy EE pullet with the very red comb continued to make noise. I finally picked her up and took a look. Her vent is bigger than the others and her pubic bones are starting to widen. I think she's going to be my first egg layer. I took a look at Percher and Ginger who are the same age and neither show quite as much development. They'll be 23 weeks this weekend.

Here's hoping for an egg.

Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed that we haven't seen eggs yet from my 4 oldest girls who are 23 weeks. I have 6-- 18 weekers, 6 -- 17 weekers and 3-- 15 weekers. I don't count the 5 -5 week chicks, because they're too young. But everyone else, heck, they should be doing something!

I've started the 23 week pullets on layer ration. Hopefully that will help things along.
