I think Frittata is getting close to laying, she is squatting and talking up a storm. She yells at me when I try to clean the coup haha. I feel like it will be a few days, but I don't want to over eggcite myself if she is still a couple weeks away. So let me know what you think, when will I get...
Silkies get a bad rap for the following:

Thanks!
