I've always noticed that right before they start to lay their combs and waddles get larger and brighter red, they get really chatty, and they squat and hold their wings up a bit when you reach down which I think is because they are lookin for some lovin cause they know eggs are coming. Just my theory. Plus you'll notice when they're standing that their hips get a little wider. And when you hear them start screaming, start lookin for eggs. There's usually a little blood on the first couple eggs but I'm sure they're still fine.
