I got six pullets four weeks ago at the age of 19 weeks. Over the last week we have noticed that thier combs have started to go red. One chook stands out more than the rest with a redder comb and also darker in colour(the other five have just started to go darker).
Over the last week we have started to get an egg every other day and we assume it is from this chook. Is this normal ? We are new to this so some advice would be very helpful, although the eggs are perfect .

Hi Pilgrim
Welcome to the Hen House

It sounds very much like the eggs are coming from the girl you suspect  
To begin with the eggs can be a bit hit and miss, the odd funny shape, very small and missing an odd day. Once she's been doing it it for a week or two she should settle down
Fingers crossed the other girls will start soon, watch out for their combs going redder and sometimes they will squat in front of you waiting to be mated 

Pop over to Chicken Chat we'd love to see some pics
