Checking Pelvic Bones

[NancyNurseCxMama]

I know I am a newbie and others may smile (or even laugh...guffaw) at me but I found this video interesting.
After seeing it, I went out and checked the most mature-looking of my chickens.
We have a looooong way to go, lol.
I love them anyway.
For the rest of you newbies, here's the video.
Enjoy!

That's one of the best videos I've seen for this,
very clear where to check and the differences.
Seems a weird thing to do, but not really,
it's good to learn your birds anatomy.

I'll add my favorite diagram. showing the bones he's checking at F-F.

Absolutely. This is quite a handy method to check real quick if a pullet is laying or not.
