My granddaughter's little EE, Strawberry, must be thinking about giving us an egg soon.

To me, the two are synonymous. A female will start squatting as she reaches sexual maturity, indicating that she is ready to lay as well as receive "services" from a rooster.

That's what I thought too. One of our hens started squatting a couple weeks before she began laying.
