15wk. old Noticed Dif. behavior today=squating

[TripleH]

So she's 15 weeks, squating in nest box today.Tonight
she let one of the roosters mount her.
Does this behavior mean she's going to start laying
soon. Newbie question I know.
Thanks

Those are some of the first signs.

Squatting -> impending sexual maturity -> eggs

Squatting doesn't = eggs but it is one of the indicators that eggs are imminent.

Yipee! I'm so eggcited.
I haven't made the switch to
layer crumbles yet, but next bag
of feed I'm guessing I should switch.

If your girl is squatting usually eggs aren't far away. Also her comb and wattles should be getting pretty red. A couple of my birds started laying at 17 weeks.
