Alright so I have a Barred Plymouth Rock pullet who is about 38 weeks old, not laying. No squatting, no real big comb or redness, nada. She is my alpha hen so I actually was convinced she wouldn't squat ever, even when she lays. Then my Mom starts wondering if Joon, the BR, is confused on her gender lol.
Well today my sister came to visit and I was showing her how to pet the chickens, and Joon SQUATS! Wings out, full throttle squat. I started jumping up and down, picked my 24 year old "younger" (by 9 months) sister up and started screaming "Oh my god she squatted!! SHE IS GUNNA LAY!!!!" My sister's expression was priceless.. She knows nothing about chickens, and was so confused and scared looking at my crazy reaction LOL but not crazy to you all right??
So, alas! My nearly 10 month old Barred Rock is squatting which = eggs soon hopefully!!
