When did your production blue lay?

[Mamatomany123]

I have 5 production blues and 2 EE. They are now 20 weeks old and my only layer is 1 EE. A few days ago I found 2 broken eggs, one was definitely from the EE, the other what white so I'm not sure. Since then I've only gotten an egg from my EE. I've looked all around the run, all around the coop and havent found anything. The girls have been hanging out in their coop a lot more the past couple of days but it's been hot and the coop is cooler so that may be why. Was just wondering if anyone here has had production blues and if so, what age they started laying? I know I'm probably being impatient but these are my first chickens and I'm being, well, impatient heres 2 of my girls and all but one look like this comb and wattle wise.(the one in the 3rd picture in the back). They also all now squat when I reach over them from behind.

Also, if your birds are like mine, once they settle into a routine you can expect a large egg every other day from each bird.

Alright, guess I may have a few weeks left.
