AJuff Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Our Black Rock had a very pale face when she arrived two weeks ago. her face has turned pink and her comb is turning red. Will I have long to wait for an egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Depends how old she is. Sounds promising though! Is she beginning to curtsey when you approach? That is a fairly reliable sign that eggs are imminent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 No she just runs off to do her own thing when i approach. Of all our hens she is the most unapproachable yet she likes treats more than the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Yesterday when I went to see the girls Darcy crouched down when I approached. A sign of an egg? Day two of crouching and still no egg The waiting is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Not all of ours crouch when we approach, at least two of them leg it!! but they are all laying. In their position I don't think I would stick around and wait for a six foot Cockeral to tread on me either! Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Yes, some do appear to be slightly more receptive than others! It's usually about a week after they start crouching that the eggs appear. Bella, my campine, squats if you just look at her - little hussy The others need to be cornered first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
