I’ve read that breed lays around 18-22 weeks.

Do you have full body pics of your birds? Are they for sure girls?

I think they are very close to laying.
They look like girls to me.

Thanks. Never had that breed so they looked off to me.

Wyandottes all look boyish to me.
Even the pullets have manly looking faces.
These have curved hackle feathers and pullet's combs would be getting red by now, like they are.
Doesn't hurt to have full body pictures just to make sure though. Always helps.
They're really beautiful birds.

they look like pullets to me, hackle feather would be much pointier and longer....and they would be crowing.
If they only got that red within the last couple weeks ago, they are close to laying.

Here's some tips about......
