pbfhpunk Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) I mentioned this in another post on the chicken board but thought I'd specifically ask here how long was it from when you first noticed your chickens crouching to when they laid? Thanks Helen Edited May 13, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think my Roast was crouching for about 4 days before she laid, but then we had just got her the week before so she might have been put off a bit from moving house. Others I think have noticed crouching only a few days before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surferdog Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 First one over a week, second one three days and the third one has never crouched in her life! I think it might vary from chicken to chicken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 My girls all laid before they started crouching They were all quite pink and have only just started to get red combs and wattles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think about 3 or 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jills Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 One of mine has been crouching for about 10 days - no sign of any eggs from her yet though. The other is a star and has laid almost every day for a week now. Have only had them for 4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
