Hi I have one question right now. Can anyone help me determine if my chickens are about to lay. I think they are I just wanna be ready for when they do. I have some pics.

Welcome to BYC!

Hmm, where are the pictures. Are they squatting at all when they're walking around? Have you checked their pelvic bones yet? If you can fit three or four fingers insid here pelvic bones they should be ready!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Hope those first eggs show up soon! They don't have much comb/wattle development yet, so probably need a little while.
