Young hen

[Holly F]

Hello. I have a young hen who is about 51/2 months old and she is showing signs (I think) of wanting to lay. She submits to me when I reach out to her and today she shows signs of wanting to be in the nesting box. She goes into the box and scratches around and settles in, but so far no eggs. When do you think she will drop her first one?

Sometime between tomorrow and October, most likely....
