Who will lay first!? *pics included* UPDATE: First Egg 8/14

[ItsAZOO32]

Ok I have 5 mixed breed chickens. They were hatched around March 17th so they are about 19 weeks old. One of their "hatch mates" just started laying this week. SOOO.. can someone tell me if these ladies look like they might lay soon??

Camilla (my bet) (Cochin X)

Flip (Frizzle)

Guinness (EE)

Sunny (EE)

Speck (silkie mix)

Thanks in advance for the thoughts and ideas

 

[Chickens? WOW]

Sorry I am kinda new at this but I do know the redder the comb, the closer they are to laying. The ones with blacker combs will lay later but I am not sure about silkies. Mostly just giving you a small bump, but good luck.

Why thank you!! Camilla has had a very red comb for a few weeks. Sunny and Flip have also gotten very red in the face. It's hard to tell with Speck and Guinness since their combs are black but they have turned almost a dark purple. I am dying for eggs!!!

Are any of them squatting for you? That cochin mix looks like it'll be any day now.

Sunny to EE kinda squats when I pet her back but not anything as definite as I've heard about. Camilla the Cochin X is aloof so she isn't the type to come too close to me. No other squatters I have seen

What are they doing?? Camilla looks kinda squatty (the one far) ... who knows..

 

[Nicole01]

I'm guessing Flip.

Is that based on the picture of them "squatting" or whatever or her close up?
