Today I noticed my 22 week old pullet doing something extremely odd. She later her first egg five days ago but today was the first time I saw her actually do it. I must have caught her at the tale end of laying because she was standing up in her box. In the nesting box there is pine shavings. She was picking them up and throwing them on herself! She would put a piece in her beak and fling it onto her back. So strange! I hope this is normal because I have no explanation for this odd behavior. Any thoughts?
) I think sourland has the right of it regarding your pullet's behavior. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. What kind of pullet do you have?
and Welcome To BYC and Happy Holidays! Congratulations on those first eggs!
