WHEN WILL THE EGGS COME!

[Suzi18]

I have 2 hens that are about 18-20 weeks old. 1 is an Olive Egger and the other an Orpington. What signs will I see before they start laying. I have noticed them going in and out the coop the last week or so. Their food and water is in the run so they typically don't go in the coop during the day. They also have been much more talkative. Any other hopeful signs I should watch for?? I'm so impatient and so excited for them to start laying

Squatting, growth of combs and their combs will get very red.

I agree with @AlleysChicks. It's always super exciting to get your first eggs!
