Definately squatting...fingers crossed

[mamabigbird]

Robin Redbreast has started squatting really good. Her face, comb and wattles are bright red and she's getting grump with her brood-mates. Hormonal teenage girl maybe?
Is it okay to squeeze her to get my first egg? Just kidding. I've put the golf balls in the nestbox just in case she gets the urge. Fingers crossed, NO WHAMMY NO WHAMMY NO WHAMMY!

sounds like Robin is getting close!
Fingers crossed with you.
Get buckabucka to send you egg laying juju! Have seen it work twice, once the same day, and once in 3 days. That time it was my First Egg!

Bright Blessings!

I'm in the same boat with one of my girls. This will be my first egg ever (if it ever comes), and the anticipation is killing me! Sounds like Robin could go any day... Good luck!

Crossing fingers for you.
So far, with our squatters, (all 20 weeks old, 16 ea.) we've seen three eggs!! More are squatting......

Good luck to you.Please post when you have success....

My Buffy squatted for about a week before her first egg. Now she's laid three in a row! Hope your wait is over soon!

thanks for the good mojo folks. I have older hens who aren't laying because they're finishing up the molt from hell.
But Robin and her sisters are my first baby chicks. All the older ones were full grown layers when I got them.
It's just soo much fun watching the young ones grow up.
PUSH ROBIN PUSH !!!!

Right before my brahma laid her first egg she got LOUD, talkative and kept going in and out of the coop about 4-5 times before finally heading to the nestbox and laying her first egg

HOORAY!!!! One very small pink egg this morning. I don't know if it was Robin or one of the other five pullets. Lil' Crow and Ester the EE have been doing the squat for days now. They will be 19 weeks on Wed.
I'M SOOOO PROUD.
