littleleicesterfox Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi there sorry I haven't been around much! My appenzellers are now about 21/22 weeks old and one of them has had her wattles appear. Looking at her today her fluff looks lower than it did, espcially when compared to my other appenzeller and I was wondering whether this could suggest that I may get my first egg appearing soon? I'm really excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The best way of knowing when eggs are imminent is when your chicken crouches as you approach or put your hand over her back. Eggs are then around a week away. The signs are promising though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmamakeup Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yeah I kind of have a feeling my girls were going to start laying - more Hermione than the others as she crouched whenever I approached her and was creeping back and forth to the eglu. She became quite chatty too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
