Well we bought her from a chicken breeder on August 26th... This lady said she was born in May so that would make her 24 weeks today... However when I posted a few weeks ago a few members said she was younger then what I thought... The first picture was taken in late September early October.

Here are some pictures from today! She didn't want her picture taken, she had a rough night :/

if she is not already laying I would say with in the next week...when you rub her back does she squat down and hold out her wings? if so she should lay within just a few days.

She's alot redder than she was 2weeks ago! Yes, I think she might lay in 2 to 2 1/2 weeks.......Love her name!

Hope they start soon for you....My chickens look just like these and we havent seen any eggs yet...plus we just got them Saturday.....so I dont even know how old they would even be.........

She hasn't squatted for us, but we felt her bottom and her gap between pubis bones is the width of two of my fingers. When I checked her 4 days ago the width was maybe 1.5 fingers!!!

Okay I think shes really really close I can almost fit three of my fingers between her pubis bones!!!! She keeps clucking at us saying "dont't you touch me" hahaha seems like it!
