MadMitch Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 a chicken crouches down stamping her feet when you go near her. My chickens have never been "huggy pick em up" chickens but I can usually manage a stroke but one of my Ixworths has started doing this squatting, stamping thing.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I take it she's not laying yet? That'll be her getting ready to lay (she thinks you're a cockeral and is getting herself ready for you ). She should lay soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMitch Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Ah...thanks for that. None of them have laid yet, I have had them since they were 6 weeks old. Looking forward to my first egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
