why did my maran hen.....

[ukchickengirl]

just squat down when i walked into the coop to feed them and was REALLY happy to be stroked??

Is this normal? It was lovely but wondered if she was worried or nervous?

Thanks

She's being submissive to you. (She'll be submissive to roosters, too, if you have any.) If she hasn't laid before, she's probably getting ready to lay soon.

oh yeah!!!!

I havent any roosters but have noticed she is spending time in the hen house when my isa (who is laying) goes in to lay her egg, taking tips i guess! Choc brown eggs here i come!!
