They Squatted!!!!! How Long Now???

Just about!! When mine squat, I skritch the backs of their necks, then skritch at the base of their tailfeathers, then pat them slightly on the middle of their backs, saying, "Good girl! Thank you!"

Then they DO stand back up, give a little shake of all their feathers, and walk away. Exactly what they do after a rooster mounts them.

Mine are foot-stomping-squatters. And they didn't do it till AFTER they started laying.....backwards broads.

I showed my sister this behavior and she said she felt disturbed watching... LOL. I have found that they don't care for a second go around after they shake it off. I guess I can't blame them.
