Hello
I have 7 pullets(16 weeks old)
4 Golden Comets, 2 Black Sex Links, and 1 White leg Horn.
I believe they are about to lay eggs soon because they have been acting so strange.
They seem to be more noisy and more aggressive towards each other. (The Black Sex Link Pecking and eating feathers even)
They also have been laying down alot and one of the golden comets even squatted when i tried to pick her up.
Are these normal signs that they are about to lay eggs? especially the part about them being agressive towards each other and
the Black Sex Link pecking the others? Can pecking be caused by the egg laying process?
thanks,
allison
