Preach it! We just introduce two 12 wk olds (RIR, and Dominique). The ISA Brown still does not have a red comb and wattle. The Dominique has a very red comb and wattle but too young.
Hopefully you and me will not have to turn them into fryers... earn your keep ladies!

I have eighteen 15 week old pullets. On two of them the face and comb are getting really really bright red. I have a feeling we're not too far away from our first egg.

High everyone, mind if I join the flock talk?
I'm new at this chicken raising. I have 3 RIR 2 pullets and a cockel + 3 Delaware pullets( at least I think their Delaware's. They are about 15 wks old and I can't wait for eggs, I'm so impatient I almost went out and bout 2 laying hens just to get eggs.
Not sure what to expect ,but can't wait!

Is this a support group for people with egg anxiety? I'm expecting eggs around the end of this month or beginning of July. A friend told me her local grocery stores in Texas are rationing eggs due to millions of commercial chickens dying from a bird flu. Prices are going up accordingly due to macro-economics (supply and demand). If my chickens start laying by mid July it will be perfect timing.

I just started getting eggs this week it's really neat. I've already had breakfast twice with fresh brown eggs we have three hens filling our empty cartons. .
