Whoa, those are some serious combs! Mine still don't look like that. Nice chickens! Could it be the heat difference? It's been silly hot here. I know you all have had some heat too. What about you, OP?

We are in FL, so yes it is hot!
I've looked everywhere for rogue eggs, but haven't found any. Her comb is not as big as the ones you pictured Finn's Mom, but it is noticably redder than a week ago.
We'll see!!
OH, and STOP posting about your eggs!! Darnit, you all make me jealous

Are you getting the egg squat? Are their pubic bones far apart? This should happen about 1-2 weeks before eggs.

Mine just started last week (she's 19 weeks) and her comb went from just a li'l pink thing to a "big girl" comb almost overnight just about a week and a half ago. She's been regular as clockwork since.

I know it's hard - but hang in there. They lay when they want and they don't care when anyone else's birds start laying. I'm still waiting on my BO & EE's to start laying. They are 21 weeks...
