One of my hens has had her comb grow and turn very red. Both girls were pullets this past fall when I got them. Now I'm not sure if I should be expecting eggs for the first time or that my hen is a rooster. It is the dark one in the back of picture. Her comb looked like the white hen until about 3 days ago
 
Some hens don't squat- but watch for the bird to be investigating nest boxes or quiet corners. Some of my hens were red for a month before laying, others a week. How old are your chickens?

Thats the big question... Got them as "pullets" from feed store early last October. They have grown considerably and now look like adults. I think they must have been spring chicks. Feed store did not know. Will stand by and plan for omlettes at some point!!
