    What is squatting?

    Your right, squatting indicates that the hen is submissive and willing to be mounted. They only do this when they are mature enouph to lay or getting ready to lay. Some chickens don't squat because they have no interest in it. Just like some will never go broody.

They were so sweet I never thought in my wildest dreams they could ever be so mean but they were. You just have to...
