Yep...my RIR and a mix breed did that too. Never saw them squatting any other time. Only when I reached for them or they got startled. A bout a week later.....eggs.
FINALLY ......on the coldest day of the year, we just got our first egg with our first chickens. It's tiny but I'll take it. . The weather has been TERRIBLE. I'm very surprised to get it today of all days.
