Well i suppose that one of my girls could be doing an egg squat but i don't know what that would look like. She's a New Hampshire, and I read that they are supposed to lay sooner than other breeds? Her comb and wattles have started growing again I can tell you that, she has these gigantic wattles from what used to be little reddish flaps. When i put my hand on her back she sometimes squats but, is that the egg squat? And I have another question. I have a BO that you can barely see her comb or wattles cause they're so small. Is it possible she could be ready to start laying? Both of these chickens are about 15 or 16 weeks old, and the buff also was singing the egg song the other day. we had them out free ranging and when we were starting to catch them to put them back inside she was standing about 7 feet away from the coop and doing the egg song, ya know, the BUCK BUCK BUCK BUCK BUCK BUGAWK, one.
so anyway, could anyone tell me, is this the egg squat, could the buff be laying soon, and if not, why was she singing the egg song? Oh and I thought i might add, that i haven't gotten any eggs at all yet. (I"M so eggcited because I want my first egg!!!!)
