Miss Moneypenny Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi, My copper rock hen is I think about to lay, she started going in and out of the eglu, sitting for a while then squarking her head off several times, but no egg so far... Also on coming out of the eglu she would try and put bits of the chopped bark in the run on her back! She wouldn't be egg bound would she? Or is she just practicing and what is with the bark on her back? Ideas anyone? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Definately building up to it. My girls put straw, twigs, various stuff on their backs hours or sometimes minutes before laying. This is a good sign..... Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
