Because only y'all will understand, I'm sharing here...
Those milestones with our flocks are always so exciting and rewarding. My 6 pullets were 18 weeks a couple of days ago, so I am watching their behavior, trying to pick up on clues. Yesterday, I went out to check on everyone, and the littles (not so little now) were eating oyster shell. Some kind of picking at it, some chowing down. They went from not even noticing it to "what is the wonderful delicacy" overnight. No one is squatting yet, but I hope that is soon!
