little chickadee Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yep - their Combs and Wattles will get bigger and go red. They will also Crouch when you put your hand on their back (they are getting ready for the Cockeral!!!) Once they start crouching the first egg shouldn't be far away Good Luck!
