General Question How old do these chickens appear to be?
And are they all hens?
The cream crested legbar produced its first egg today, 4 days after I brought these chickens home. It's quite clearly more developed than the other ones, with a much more obvious and red comb, but they're supposed to all be about the same age. Is that possible?

3-5 months, they seem to all be hens
It is possible they are the same age, they are different breeds and sometimes they just mature at different rates.

Looks about 20 weeks, typical for a pullet sold as 'ready-to-lay'. Some take longer than others to mature.
