Identification.

[NotReallyTyler]

Need help identifying rescuee. Picture of herself and egg follow. If possible, any guess of her age or how much more (if any) she'll grow? Thanks in advance .

Mixed breed hen, possibly with leghorn ancestry. I can't tell the egg color, it's just a glare to me.
If she's laying eggs, she's pretty much full grown.

Mature leghorn cross hen.

It's a mature hen that is laying...about all you can say once they are full grown and laying eggs.

The only signs as to age would be that younger pullets, just starting to lay, will have smaller eggs while more mature hens will usually have larger eggs (within the breed and within the bird's range of size). Eggs can vary in size though at the beginning and end of laying season (around the seasonal molt).

Combs tend to grow a bit larger as they mature more fully (not always).

Birds will fill out from the teenage lankiness to a more fuller look as they come into "bloom"...then as the egg layers age, get a "matronly" kind of look to almost spent hens having a "cronish" look being more narrow in the hips, even a more upright position, as they shut down egg production.

But again, it is hard to tell ages once they become mature as breeds and birds vary.
