Still waiting for that last chicken...

[Rhodeislandsilkie]

Thanks for replying! I do think she might be close. Usually her comb is darker and more of a red color but it’s lighter. I think it might be because of winter. She is a very sweet hen and sh’s friends with my yellow NN.

Yes, definitely a pullet. She's a pretty girl! She should start laying within the next couple months since she's not showing any signs of laying. Some girls like to take their sweet time with laying. Hope you get your last first egg soon!

Thanks, she is very pretty. I do hope she lays soon.
Happy Holidays!

it could be the weather

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. It’s getting colder. Even here in California!

My EE was the last to start to lay of my springtime chick’s. At 5 months she laid.
My chickens are still actually laying EXCEPT her. Last to start first to stop.
She’s just an odd chicken. I think she’s got neurological problems....a whole different story.
Hope you get some nice eggs from your girl. Best wishes

I have 3 EEs and one started laying at 21 weeks while the other two don't seem interested yet. Just a matter of time....

 

[Rhodeislandsilkie]

Thanks! Best wishes to you too!

 

[Rhodeislandsilkie]

Thanks! I guess some mature more than others. Hope your two EE’s lay soon!

Not all birds will squat.
Are you sure she's just not laying brown?
