I'll take one tonight.
If your hen squats for you, you will know what it is.
If you're not sure if she's done it or not, then rest assured she has not squatted.
Here's a link,

I've got a couple of pictures of squatting girls here: http://oneblockdiet.sunset.com/
And, like others have said, if you're not sure, it hasn't happened yet. It's so distinctive -- the sudden stillness, the wings back, the unladylike way your hen tips her tail up toward you ...

Sunset Chickens, your blog is terrific. Love the photos, especially the egg blowing out section.
(I'm not a newbie - my girls have been squatting for months, but I thought it would be good for future newbies to see it.)

I just looked at the short film clip about squating and I never saw my girls do that and I am getting eggs.
I go out to them all the time and pick them up, I cannot believe I never saw this. Do they all do it?

My hens did this before Jean, my rooster, arrived and after I lost him. But not while I had the pleasure of having him in my flock. Thanks MissPrissy for explaining that behavior.
