Still (not so patiently) waiting for one of our gals to lay! They are 19-22 weeks. Anyone else waiting for their sex links to lay?

My RSLs are 12 weeks so I've got a while to go yet!

I have a 21 week EE and SL Wyandotte and so far nothing.
I have 2 19 week old RIR and nothing from them either. One is just starting go grow a comb and waddles so I think she will be a while. Her sister has a more developed comb and waddles although still pink, not red.

Come on ladies! I check every day when I get home from work.

Well, both our Leghorns are laying every day. They are 19 weeks old today. The first leghorn started laying two weeks ago, and the other a week ago. Our Buff Orpington and Easter Egger are both the same age as the Leghorns, but, while they are showing signs of being ready to start laying eggs, neither one have yet, so, we are still waiting for them to kick it in gear.

Found my first duck egg in the pool and about made me puke. Our Rouens prefer to make their own nest in the dirt then the nest box lol

My white leghorn started to lay a week ago today. Expected her to be the first of the 8 breeds I have to lay. What is surprising is that my Jersey Giant laid her first egg today. With Giants being such a large and what I thought would be slow maturing, it was unexpected when I spotted her in the nest box. Still waiting on the Silver Laced Wyandotts, Buff Orpington, Easter Egger, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red, and New Hampshire Red. Was expecting the 2 red girls to be next.

Checked the boxes today... no eggs but evidence that they had been in 3 of the 4 boxes. Progress!

I have a mixed flock of five. My oldest two are a White Plymouth Rock and a Buff Brahma both around 20-22 weeks old. The other three are an Easter Egger, a Red SexLink, and a Buff Orpington. They are 1-2 weeks behind the oldest two. I know Brahmas mature a little later so I'm not expecting eggs from her yet. I thought for sure that my White Rock would be laying by now. I hAve a ton of family members asking when they are going to start laying. I'm trying to be patient but it's hard!
Also, I have the nesting boxes blocked off until I find the first egg.
