I'm guessing she's about to lay

[LizGio]

My golden comet, hatched the second week of May, is in the nesting boxes. She's pretty quiet and she's been laying in there for about an hour. I opened it up and she let me pet her and talk to her touch her comb. Then she clucked at me a few times got up and started sticking shavings into her feathers on her back. Is this a sign that she's trying to create a nest?

In my limited experience, yes. I had a Wyandotte exhibit the same behavior while free ranging. Shortly after, she layed a cute lil egg.

It would be about the right time for a Golden Comet, but because you're expecting it, expect to wait another week or two
