Egg forming or just a large crop?

If it's sort of a yawning gesture then that is normal too. I think they rearrange food in their crop that way.. not 100% sure..

Well, surprise!!!

She laid her first egg at ~16 weeks!!!!!!!!

My son was the one to spot it and she was considerably "flatter" on the chest after it popped out!

So, I guess her crop is held a little higher than some? She's an EE pullet.

Sooooo exciting!!!!
