sjp Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Rusty has crouched twice now when Big Red had a peck at her does that mean i can expect eggs soon.She won't crouch for me just runs off added the poll for a bit of winter fun Rusty first half crouched Monday 9/11/2009 crouched properly Tuesday 10/11/2009 the dates are for the begining of the week. week ends Sunday Edited December 7, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sounds promising - fingers crossed. We have a white star who is boss chicken who wills herself not to crouch for us but sometimes just can't help herself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 thanks for that it's just what I wanted to here as for her crouching I think it's shocked her she normally runs off when Big Red has a go but as Rusty turned to run she crouched proper to night last night I wasn't sure,so it looks like starting a poll if I can figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've clicked not til spring, but only because she's a breed and my legbar has now packed upfor the winter - hope I'm proved wrong - if yours starts laying I'm going to show this thread to mine and give her a prod!!

Valkyrie Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've done the 23rd - my grandad's birthday - hope it's a lucky day for you. Our buff has crouched a few times and we've seen a lash, so hoping for something soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 You may just be lucky, so I have said 23rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkisland Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Mine all laid very soon ( about 5 days) after crouching, so I voted for the 16th. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I voted the 23rd as Pipa only crouches when one of the ex batts goes near her,she runs away from me but layed her first egg last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've voted for the 30th, my pure breed girls have just started and didn't wait until spring, so I think there may still be hope, but it may be slow in arriving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
