Hi all!
The last 2 or 3 days I have realised that my 7/8 month old favorelle has been has been venturing off to "lay". She free ranges along with my other hens. But when I go to check her new spot, there are no eggs.
I had a feeling she might have been egg bound.. because maybe she was trying to get an egg out and nothing was there? But i dont believe she is egg bound .. as she doesnt have the penguin walk and i noticed this behaviour about 48 hours ago now.
Any ideas as to what she might be doing?
EDIT-I just realised shes not 7 or 8 months yet. She hatched at the very end of Feb.. so that would make her just over 6 months.... could it be that shes "practising laying"? Because i dont know if shes laid her first egg yet. Its hard for me to tell as I have a mix of breeds. I did realise about 2 weeks ago that my rooster finally started dancing for her and I just witnessed him mount her today. Could she be just about to lay or would you assume shes laying already?
