In your opinion: How close to laying?

[EmmaRainboe]

She is a mix of a Welsummer and a Cream Legbar. She is 20 weeks. The first pic is a pic of her two months ago, and the second one is a pic of her now (quite a lot of waddle and comb development). In your opinion how much longer do you think I’ll have to wait for those eggys

I would guess just a matter of weeks until she lays.

Oh really! Well that’s exciting!

I do pelvic bone checks on my girls until they start to lay, that’s how I know who’s doing what when a new egg appears! I only have 4 so it’s been easy to track them so far. You can find many posts linking to a “how to” on here, or YouTube “chicken pelvic bone check” and there’s videos that show it quite well. It’s easy to do and really helpful, just have to catch the bird first!

Oh cool! I’ll have to find out how to do that! Thank you so much!

Just a bit of an update: She's still not laying but she started squating yesterday, I think we're getting close!

Looks like she's got a rose comb?...
...she's got something else besides Wellie and CLB.
But, yeah, looks close to laying.
