wing flairing

[dlgower]

Question I have a Golden Lace Wing that has started doing something I do not understand. When I try to go in the run she stands in front of me and kinda flair her wings. She is not flapping them she just holds them out a little and I can rub them then she let's me by. I would love Any help in understanding her.

do her wings go out to the side and tail up ? If she is laying it sounds like she is starting to go broody.

Do you have a rooster? Maybe she will have fertile eggs than can be hatched.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sounds like your girls are squatting / being submissive to you (like they would for a rooster), it usually means they are getting ready to start laying eggs, here is a thread on it https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/232619/squatting-when-i-pet-them-what-does-that-mean/0_20
