Cashew will be five at the end of March, so maybe? Her comb is so pump and red right I was thinking she would start laying soon, but she is not squatting and doesn’t wanna be handled. When she has laying hormones, she’s a very lovey, lap sitting, squatting type of girl.I've heard or older hens starting to crow and in their molts getting more rooster like feathers and definitely taking on rooster duties. How old is Cashew? Without a rooster, I can see this happening if she is older. [Hen-o-pause!]
