Is the picture showing what she is doing,that is the pose she is in? her wings are not spread way out or anything. How old is she?

She is a pretty little girl!

Her posture suggests to me she is "squatting" for you. That means she is being submissive to you. It's usually triggered by approaching her from above. Some think it's a signal she is coming into fertility and may be laying soon. However, this posture is also common when a hen is fearful of being attacked from above, whether by a rooster, human, or hawk.

She's probably signaling to you that she will be presenting you with an egg very soon.

That is what I was thinking.
