I brought home a 1 year old Samo/sex link cross today. She was with rather (ahem) overzealous roosters and as a result looks alot like a Skeksis (sp? Dark Crystal...). Anyway.....she was bawking around and fussing - just like my Leghorn before she lays - she picked out "her" nest box and got all ready, bedding on her back and all, sat there for about 10 min. and came out of the box bawking up a storm!...nothing....she got back in the box a minute later, jumped out a minute after that - totally quiet - and there was a nice, large, light brown egg. So - a pre-egg song, but not post egg? Is this just the norm for some hens?
