Actually, they started doing the pre laying song. You know when right after a hen lays? They started doing that. My hens(long ago) did this a week/few days before laying.

The dogs got their pics taken too lol

They are also sitting in a corner that is supposed to be thier nest box

Some hens do crow.Or at least try.If she's singing the egg song and is now trying to crow,that's understandable.Someone's hen crows everyday after she lays an egg.Check out this thread for info:

Whatever you do,DON'T GO TO THE FEED STORE.

Oh and could you take a pic of seeta's comb and tail feathers.Then I could help further.

I would like to know where you are coming up with this? Do you have silkies of your own?

Monkey, is Seeta singing the egg song or crowing? At 5 months the comb isn't usually that big. I have a hen who's comb is about that size, but she is 11 MONTHS. 6 months older than yours, which is quite a bit of time. Hers didn't start getting big until she started laying. Wait another month or two and you will know for sure.

Seeta looks like a roo to me.
