Who will lay the next egg?

[Tookie]

I have 4 pullets who are going to be laying very soon, they're almost 22 weeks old. I was going to post this thread about a week ago but never got to it then Thursday one started laying! So now I have 4 non-laying pullets. Due to observation and the pelvic bones I have an idea who will be laying next. So who do you think is going to lay the next egg?

This is Muffin the Easter Egger and her egg, the pullet that started laying last Thursday. She had the farthest apart pelvic bones, has quite a red face, and was being mated the most.

This is Willow the Easter Egger. Her pelvic bones are almost 2 fingers apart, she's also red in the face. I've never seen her mated though. Willow was the second one to lay an egg, so don't vote for her in the poll.

This is Domini the Dominique. Her pelvic bones are 2 fingers apart, she's very red in the face, and is one of the most mated. Domino was the third one to lay an egg, so don't vote for her in the poll.

This is Angel the Dominique. Her pelvic bones are less than 1 finger apart, she's not very red, and I never see her get mated.

This is Chippie the Welsummer. Her pelvic bones are about 1 finger apart and she's very red in the face. I've never seen her get mated before.

I think that Domino is the obvious choice, however, Easter eggers tend to start laying the first, so Willow is my second choice...

I say Domino!

I think Domino is the closest to laying, she'll probably be laying within two weeks.

Willow laid her first egg today! I'm positive it was her because Muffin already laid an egg and Willow was the only one left to lay a blue egg. It also is the same size as Muffin's. I did have them out with the other flock and I found the egg on the ground in the run and the Adults know to lay in the nesting boxes. Good job Willow!

Good call--you were right!

Domino must be the next one to lay an egg, no doubt.

Any updates?

Any updates?

Yes I do have a update, I forgot to reply back to this thread. Domino laid her first egg on Thursday! She also laid one yesterday too. She laid it some time while I was holding her because I found it on the ground beneath me!

So Muffin laid the first egg on the 21rst. Willow was the second to lay, she laid on the 26th. Domino was the third one to lay, she laid her first egg on the 28th. I think Chippie is next, I'll have to check her pelvic bones.
