    Pelvic Check Says, "Not Yet"

    Friday afternoon I searched the entire run just to make sure I hadn't missed an egg. :D

    She squatted again this morning. :)

    :thumbsup YEAH! Mine are still freeloading. I just looked at the undisturbed boxes, the empty coop, and all around the run hoping to find something but no egg action yet.

    Yes. It's definite progress though since it was just one figure a couple weeks ago when I last caught her.

    My girls are 22 and 24 weeks. I'm hoping that, if nothing else, they'll start up after the solstice.

    Cordon squatted today! She actually let me pick her up and had a generous 2 fingers on the pelvic check.

    Not yet. The Australorps are particularly bright red in the comb and wattles, but I'm still waiting. Last night I flattened the shavings in the nest box and placed the golf balls in a way I could remember. When I get home from work I'll look to see if anyone is nesting.

    No, not at all. :D I hope that I will never have to give a hen that intimate an exam.

    To the best of my knowledge that's how to do it. Though I can't claim to be an expert. I'm wrestling an unwilling hen and feeling around for the space so I can't be sure at this stage in my chicken-handling experience. The spaces I'm feeling are wider now than when I first started.

    Some of my chickens have learned to fly out of their pen so I'm having to catch them. As long as I'm holding them I figure I might as well check. ;)

    I didn't find any eggs in the nest boxes today, but I did find feathers -- looks like at least one of the Australorps has been investigating.

    Mine don't like to be picked up at all, but don't object to the check more than they object to just being held.

    Sounds good to me. :)

    Indeed. Maybe we can have fresh eggs for breakfast on Thanksgiving. :D

    Pelvic Check Says, "Not Yet"

    I am trying to not get impatient about eggs. The ladies were probably hatched June 10th and 24 so they're certainly not overdue, especially with the days shortening. One of the Blue Australorps, whose combs and wattles are beautifully red, flew over the fence today. Her "punishment" for being a...
