I am guessing mine are close (bright red combs and squatting from some) but I think the shock of the cold snap we got and the freezing rain and snow might have given us a setback.

Where abouts in Northern Ohio are you?

Findlay area here.

One of our Red Stars laid at 3 and a half to 4 months. how many weeks would that be....um...13-18 weeks. wow! she's an early bloomer!
BOTH ARE RED STARS:
Cinnamon: 3-4 months(13-18 weeks)
Linda: 4 1/2-5 months(18-22 weeks)

The two red star girls(above) are now laying large eggs rather than pullet eggs. yay! I couldn't believe how big Cinnamon's eggs were over the past week!
We are now waiting on the buffs to start laying! They are 5 months. Combs are bright red but still no eggs. Should be soon!

Go girls!

Mine are almost 20 weeks and still no eggs. My BO I think is getting close. Red comb, squatting alot. Maybe a SLW too. The EE's are molting.

My silkie that was supposed to be a hen is a roo and greeting me on Thanksgiving morning with his first crow. So no eggs from him.

I really was in denial until these last few weeks. Being new to chicken raising it was hard to tell.
