You can feel the pelvis bones just under the vent area. Find the vent, then feel around just underneath and to the sides.
I managed to check a couple of my hens today. I checked the ones whose combs have gotten bigger and darker within the last week or so. I managed to find the pelvis bones and a RIR and a BO both had bones that were opened about a finger width. I will continue to check them about once a week. what is the approximate measurement at which I should start watching for them to squat and nest around in the boxes? Thanks so much for all the help! I'm getting excited!!
