Hi, I've had only a handful of chickens so far and was wondering if you all have always noticed that your chickens start squatting when you approach them--the "mating squat"-- a week or so before their first egg is laid. I've noticed this in the few layers I've had but now I have a 7 month old red sex link who's not laid a single egg yet. And I'm not noticing any squatting behaviors. Could an egg, maybe be imminent or need I wait to see the first signs of squatting before I can get my hopes up?
Thanks!
Thanks!
