What does it look like when they squat? Like they are sitting? I found her for the first time in the nesting boxes today

This is a picture I came across of a chicken squatting.

Being I cannot find much on these beautiful birds, what are some good signs of eggs coming soon?

These haven't started laying yet but are about a month away,

These birds have started laying. Their combs and wattles are nice and red.

I had to put my 1 1/2 yr old Isa down today for what turned out to be salpingitis. Trying to read up on it here, I've seen a few posts in the emergencies forum that say they've had multiple Isa's with the same thing. Is it something they seem to be predisposed to? Because before this, I was thinking I was going to get more of these when it was time for more chickens bc they have good personalities and lay really well. But I definitely don't want to go through this more than I have to!

I have several ISA Browns. Some are over 5yrs old and still laying. Granted at that age they don't lay every day. So far I have had no real health issues with them.

I have 4 Sex-Links.
2 black, 2 brown.

They are the best, so friendly and great layers.


Here is "Fondue", not afraid of the camera at all.

Here are some pictures of my sex links.
They are nearing on 3 years old now, and are good layers.



Notice the big floppy comb!

How old are your birds?

I started with chickens ten years ago. Little bantams cause the big ones scare the hell out of me...
But how cute they are, they won't lay good and are not very tame.

Yesterday at the office me and a colleague of mine decided to get some Isa Browns. Picked up 2 girls yesterday and they surprised me with an egg today

. Just 21 weeks old and are they cute! They like too cuddle, love to be with you and are so relaxed. I wish I've started with them sooner!
