Hi y’all! I have a video of my going on 4 month old Easter egger. I pet all my girls but when I tried to pet her, she did a crazy instant freeze pose with wings a bit fanned out. I read that this is the submissive squat when ready for a rooster which we do not have. Her comb is still not very red, more pink. Around when do I expect her first egg? It’s so hot here in Texas I don’t want to miss it and have it bake out there. Here’s a video. You can’t see too well her wings fanned out as I had to fetch my phone but they were definitely out and she was squatted.

When mine did this it was only a week or so and she starting loudly talking to me. No real egg song but it was not long after that she laid. They are 20 weeks old.
