The first Barred rock and buff orp could be any day mow, the others look a little far yet. :]

Sinead and Siobhan both almost 19 weeks. Ignore the water I added electrolytes and vitamins because of the heat.

Are they doing the chicken squat yet?

 

[Lisawbsn]

Oh yes, for at least a month now. They cackle more lately when they do,

They should be laying soon! Have they been ‘chicken-wauling’ (not the egg laying song that’s the same as the chicken distress call - which is also another sign), but the drawn out, almost complaining call hens do? My Charlotte started laying about a week ago (was doing the squatting thing for a while before that (usually, my girls don’t do that with me for some reason, but she‘s done it a lot ), and she was chicken-wauling often, so I knew she was getting close. The morning I first heard her give the distress call/egg laying song, she laid about an hour later.

Yes, odd drawn out bawaaks.
