Boybeck Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I've been wondering about this, why do chickens crouch when you go near them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 They think you're a cockeral......don't ask me why! Someone's hens on here crouch for their pet dog! Crouching is a great sign that your hen is maturing & will lay soon, if she doesn't already do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 She has laid a little white egg today, we have just found it in the nest box. Clever girl It was just under a week from the first crouch to the first egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggienator Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 1st egg in the nest box that is clever. Ours laid them one in the flower bed and one in the middle of the run on top of a pile of poop It is amazing how exciting the first egg is (and I still say thank you for every one).
