Yep, I'm finding that statement to be the truth. One of my standard cochin pullets has been squating and going in and out of the nesting box for 2 weeks now. Comb is nice and red and still NOTHING!!!!!

I feel your pain Jacie- my D'Uccles have been doing the same thing for about the same amount of time!

Silkies squat like women do in the bush behind a tree:
It means they are toileting.

so PC you need to change the words or add a new line:
My silkie did a pee!!

Crazy4chicks, I'm not sure how closely the timing between squatting and laying are
related to each other.


Spotted, Atomic Squat!!!! That's hilarius!!!

Buff H & Bantymum, Since I only have one silkie it's hard for me to have a point
of reference but she does seem a lot more dainty than a standard. Her squat is
more shaply and provocative, like she knows what she is doing. Hmmmm.
AND SHE'S NOT PEEING!!!

Wow I have to say I have never heard people use the word squat so much in my life. lol
If you ask me chickens play mind games with you they are trying to take over the world by driving us chicken people crazy with their darn squatting lol
They plan to use this technique to make us mad and than they can use us as pawns to do their bidding
lol
Anyway good luck with that squatting and hope that they start laying soon
