Youngest pullet to lay an egg?

[Logar]

I'm thinking my Ancona may lay first because her comb is getting bigger and redder. More than my other breeds.

Looks like our barred rocks are in the same stage of development. Hopefully both ours will start laying soon lol

Here's mine at 16 weeks 5 days... I read it's good for them to mature later. Or so I try to remind myself haha

I keep telling myself that. It isn’t helping though .

Mine are 16 weeks 5 days today and this is what mine looks like. Crazy how close they are.

Hi there!

I am (not so patiently) waiting for my 12 pullets to begin laying. I have Barred Rock, Easter Eggers, Welsummers, a Blue Australorp, and an Ancona. Plus 1 accidental cockerel- Olive Egger. My first chickens ever! They are 15 weeks old now.

I'm curious to hear your stories about the youngest pullet you ever had lay an egg. What age and breed were they?

Pictures welcome!

My youngest layers started when they were 19 weeks old; an EE and an Australorp/EE mix. My other EE hens started laying within the same week of each other and they're all 21 weeks old now.

Here's Midnight, my Aussie. I just posted about her egg yesterday because it was ginormous.

Would love to see your colorful egg basket!

I haven't gotten a pretty picture yet since only 7 of my 14 are laying so far, but here's what I have in the fridge the brown eggs on top are store bought but that one brown egg in the middle is my Australorp's egg. So far, all my EEs are laying blue and blue/green eggs!
