I always go by when they start squatting. Some of my hens combs go red for a while before they start laying.

Every breed...and even every individual hen within that breed, are on their own unique egg laying timetable! Yes, well developed combs and wattles are one sign, as is the "submissive squat" and spending time in the nesting box - but she will lay an egg when "all systems are go" on her own timeline. It's very, very exciting to get that first egg from a pullet!

There's a great article that gives you signs that a pullet will be laying soon.

Starts with red comb/watttles but when you get the squat, it should be within a week or two. Plus you can check their pelvic bone, two finger span they're laying.

Only one finger gap between bones.
