-sarahjayne Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 My Black rock hen Lottie looks the oldest out of my bunch of four She is the only one with a bright red full comb and wattles, and pale feet. Her comb is very big and flops to one side (im not sure if thats supposed to be like that though...) All my other girls have little or no combs + wattles at the moment We only got them today.. so i dont expect anything too soon but are these signs that she will be laying soon? Lottie's pale feet: http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f129/sazzykiins/?action=view¤t=chickensz007.jpg Lottie a bit blurred but you can see her comb + wattles http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f129/sazzykiins/?action=view¤t=chickensz009.jpg Her comb [flopping to one side] http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f129/sazzykiins/?action=view¤t=chickensz010.jpg This is Evie, my other black rock who looks considerably younger imho http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f129/sazzykiins/?action=view¤t=chickensz012.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I would say that Lottie does look like she will be laying quite soon. Don't worry about her comb flopping over, she might just have a long comb. Is she crouching yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-sarahjayne Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 yes now and then she is crouching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I agree, it's quite well-developed so it shouldn't be long . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Once they start to crouch it will usually be within the next week or so Fingers crossed for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
