Mature or not yet?

[FreckledFourCoop]

I have 3 speckled Sussex all around 25 weeks old but not laying yet, looking at her comb it’s not as bright as I’ve seen in photos so I was wondering if they are not mature yet and that’s why we’re not getting eggs yet. I am very new to chickens.

They are not ready to start laying shortening day light period will lengthen onset of laying.

I don't think you are red enough yet. You are not alone, but I finally got two eggs yesterday so I am hoping.
