Is my chicken about to lay an egg?

[emilynieuwerkerk]

Hi everyone,
I have a pullet that’s 5 ish months old and has yet to lay an egg. Just today, she started having some strange behaviour such as squatting (which I know is sign of egg laying) but she is also a lot quieter and less interactive. She is also doing some weird swapping type action and wiping her beak a lot.
is this a sign of egg laying or something I should be concerned about?
thank you!

Squatting, most definitely is a sign. Also if her comb goes red.
They wipe their beak on the floor to clean it. Wouldn't worry about that too much.
