I have 6 RSL's that will be 19 weeks on Tuesday. Overnight their combs and waddles got way redder. 2 days ago Amelia, one of the pullets, did the chicken squat when I pet her and now she squats and pecks me like crazy when I touch her. Now another pullet is starting to squat when I pet her. When should I expect an egg? They're on layer pellets as of 3 days ago. What else should I look for to expect an egg?
 
All of our chickens laid their first eggs when they were about a year old, I think.
 
I am wondering this same thing. I have Easter Eggers, Buff Orpingtons, NH Reds and Speckled Sussex Hens. They are 23 weeks old. All hatched 2/18.

I received my first egg a week ago. It was small and vanilla hued so I'm thinking it was a speckled sussex. It had yolk on the outside but the egg was intact?? Weird.

I have not seen a single egg since. My big EE and one of my friendly Buff's, Sunny, are squatting for me when I approach them and have been for 2 weeks but still no eggs.
