Anyone have any questions about “Is my chicken laying an egg”? Because I know how to tell

[Newyorkrita]

And I have a video for how to tell if a chicken lays and egg or not, but to explain it, you feel for there hips, 1-2 fingers, probably not laying. 3-4 probably laying. Then you look at there vent, a quarter size vent means probably laying and a dime sized vent means probably not laying.

Good ti know.

So, if the kanuten flapper is tight, then they are not laying? It'd figure it'd snap back shut after the egg passed. Interesting.

Might be the same video as in this article:

This is

You are the first I've seen that has actually done this.
When do you apply the dye, at night or early morning?
Do you use liquid food dye or gel?
Do you just dab the surface or push it up inside?

 

[Ascholten]

Do you wipe it front to back, back to front, or roundy roundy?
What if the chicken won't stop following you around after dye application?
This might be a poor mans way to color eggs for easter too, each design is different!

Why

 

[Ascholten]

How long does the dye last between applications? Sometimes you can't really tell when the chicken is actually going to lay, so if they poop a few times, doesn't that kind of take the dye with it?

Stop it! I'm laughing so hard

There are some ways to tell if a chicken is laying, and other ways to see who lays what egg

Which way does an egg come out? Pointy or roundy?

Have you tried this on your hens before?

It’s one of the most commonly used methos.

No, yeah, I've heard of it, I was just wondering if they had done it before because I never have and was wondering how that works.
