This morning as my chickens were out free ranging I heard the egg laying song. I ran out side to find my 18 week old buff orpington run out of the bushes singing the egg laying song. We searched and searched, but couldn't find an egg. IDo chickens practice singing the egg laying song before they actually begin to lay eggs? We are really excited for our chickens to begin laying.
 
My 21 week BO did the same thing just now! I heard bukbukbukbukbukbukAUKbukbukbukAUKbukbuk... and ran out to find her perched on the kids' seesaw singing with the whole flock crowded around watching her! They free range so I searched but didn't find any egg. Curiously, she's one of the pullets with a smaller, pinker comb still. Definitely not as red as some of my other pullets. How soon do y'all think it'll be??
