Luvachicken Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I gave my lovely chicks a cuddle this afternoon and when I went to pick up Milly she crouched They are not so chick like now and tomorrow is in fact their 20 weeks old birthday. I did think Milly was the youngest out of the 3 of them but the crouching suggests otherwise. I know they crouch ready for a male but why do some crouch and others don't ? Of my 3 older girls only Gemma crouches and always has, whereas the other 2 have never done it. Just need to wait for the eggs to come now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Don't think Pickwick has ever crouched but she does lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Went into the run earlier and checked inside the chicks's house to find a dear little egg in the egg box Clever Milly And I'm pretty certain I saw Molly crouching today too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I was so pleased with my little egg that when my son got in from work, I told him all about the egg and how clever she was, and he said she wasn't clever - it was just nature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I know this isn't the egg page but lovely Milly has laid an egg every day since the first one she laid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
