Olly Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yes, as they mature their combs get bigger and much brighter red, however you may find they lay before this happens - it's a good sign when they start crouching down if you approach them. Congratulations on getting your chickens, you have lots of fun ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 One of my new girls laid 2 days ago (aged 20 weeks) and her comb and wattle is still pretty small! Crouching is a better sign, I think . She'd been doing that for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
