This may be a good sign for me! My Barred Rock is 8 months old but she just started squatting when I come up to her like my White Leghorn does and she has some seriously poofy butt feathers!

Pretty birds!

My BR looks just like yours and the same age! What caught my eye was her tail feathers. The pullet I'm referring to lost those spikey feathers which lead me to believe she was in a small molt of sorts. Has yours always had spikey tail feathers? By the way, no eggs here yet!

Those pullets are so pretty, I would not care if they ever did their job!!LOL
