My roo is a dancin fool in the morning when I let the chickens out of their house. He dances up on every pullet out there. He danced up to one of my EE's, Hottie, and guess what she did...she squatted and aloud him to take the position!!! She was just about completely laying on her belly with her wings spread out to the side. They girls turn 18 weeks tomorrow so I'm taking this mornings chicken lovin as a good sign that lil eggs are in my future!!!
Im the roo in our family and I cant seem to walk by some of the girls (six birds now 20 weeks old) wo/ them doing the come and get me squat. (I like to give em a lil scratch on the back just so they dont feel ignored.) And we have eggs so I think youre right, its a good sign! Its not consistent, tho. Maybe Ill post a Q about it. Good luck w/ the dancing.
My girls don't squat for me....they do for Rocky the Roo. But, I'm getting eggs. Guess I'm not top chicken anymore!!
Quote:Only Hottie is squatting so far. She doesn't squat from me but she'll let me pick her up which she never let me do before. My roo knows that I'm top chicken. He tries to dance up to me and I just stick my foot up to his face and he walks away lookin pitiful.
