Funny behavior....

Date sort Score sort
It's an instinctive throwback to the days when a wild hen would cover her nest to hide it from predators. Many ducks and geese will cover their nests every time they lay an egg.
 
A couple of my girls will hunker down when I enter their pen. Sorta squat. Good time to give them some love, but what's it' all about? Are they being submissive?
 
Lol....maybe she's got a bet with a fellow hen on how many people she can get to analyze this!...and for how long....
