21 week old BA (Jade) she's the sweetest girl of my 8. Not positive but believed she had started laying recently. Today she is not with it at all. When I let the flock out of the run to do yard work with me; I noticed she was squatting down all the time. I checked her vent and it's super clean, felt all around it pushing a little and felt nothing. Checked the other two birds I know are laying and if anything Jade's vent is better. She returned to the run and squatted down in a corner. She's eating, eyes clear, feathers shiney, has a good attitude. When I brought the flock back to the run via the ole scratch tease, she rose up, ate some scratch then squatted down again....repeated this several times.
Could she be getting ready to lay her first egg and is confused?
