H everyone! So my 6 month old Light Sussex hen laid her first egg 2 days ago (and hasn’t laid since) and my rooster also mated her twice in that time. Now I’m noticing her doing constant, short bocks that shake her back and bottom and she is doing it a LOT. Does anyone know what this means?
Thanks!

Some pullets and hens are noisier than others.
 
Ok. She hasn’t done this before though
Neither has she laid eggs before. 👇

She's maturing and coming into lay. Some pullets find their voice at this stage in life, it's all new to her too. She may eventually calm down as she gets into the routine of laying eggs, or she may do this all of her life, time will tell.
