Ness3103 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 i'm wondering if my girls will lay soon? they've all started crouching when i walk near them, they get low to the ground and hold the tops of their wings out slightly, is this normal? skye's wattles are getting big and red but her comb is still pink, the other girls have pink smaller wattles and combs. they all seem ravenous over the past couple of days too. skye and scarlet are 21 weeks old and ebony and tia are 19 weeks old, so i know they're still very young, just wondered if we may get an egg soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Does sound like it's not too far away Usually within a couple of weeks when they are crouching! Keep looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redranger Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Yep, eggs will be on their merry way very soon! Was one or two weeks after my warrens started crouching, that they started to lay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-sarahjayne Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 My bluebelle Martha started crouching yesterday.. and today i have 2 (!!) Beautiful eggs. She's 19 weeks old. Ive only had her 4 days. Im pretty sure the other egg was from Evie, and she didnt crouch at all. None of the others crouched actually except martha. Not long to wait now for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
