Chicken subject bows to me, am I King now?

[Kamurai]

My lead chicken (Head Hen?) has started bowing to me like I'm a King.

She and I get on well, we talk back and forth, and she's usually the one that comes to the fence first, sometimes growling at me.

She's been the dominate hen almost from the start, so it was kind of weird to have her bow when I thought she might start trying to attack.

Her squad should start laying this month, so maybe that's part of it.

Any shared experience would be helpful or just laugh, that's fine too.

She's probably just squatting for you.

They will squat. This is normal behavior.

The squat does look like someone bowing down, never thought of that haha.

Nobody is laying rent yet, they're all squatting so far.

That's a funny angle: mine is always facing me and her wings go out like a little curtsey.

I know! I love it. I always pet them when they do it. Then they fluff around. Too cute.

It’s when I am guaranteed to get a pet in! Otherwise it’s a hit or miss if they’ll let me cuddle and pet them!

Usually, they're so full of energy they don't like to hang out until evening and then they climb me.

Only if you're packed and ready for the nice gentlemen in white coats to take you away to a nice cushy room with unlimited pudding.
I joke. They should lay soon. :]
