Phew. I didn't need another rooster as Snape is enough and we take care of our neighbor's roo as well.At 17 weeks old, this is a pullet
How soon is soon lol. I'm not gonna find an egg in the coop this week am I? She better wait until next weekend when I can build the nesting boxes!X3, I think she’s ready to lay soon
Hard to say, is she squatting for you when you put your hand over her back? She may wait until the days get a little longer. My first pullet laid at 20 weeks, and her sisters followed a few weeks after that, but it was in the Fall.How soon is soon lol. I'm not gonna find an egg in the coop this week am I?

My second coop caught me before I had nesting boxes ready, they got a heavy duty Chicken Nugget box from Costco, it worked perfectly it was one of those display boxes were you tear off a chunk of the box and you can see all the product inside.How soon is soon lol.

x2I don’t think that’s a cockerel. At 16 weeks there should be male specific feathering. I think your chick is a pullet that should start to lay soon
Some birds will NEVER squat as that's a sign of submission not laying in particular.. in MY experience. It is funny when they do it for us though!How soon is soon lol. I'm not gonna find an egg in the coop this week am I? She better wait until next weekend when I can build the nesting boxes!
I haven't noticed. I will go check later today. Mostly they run if I am standing. I am a bald pink thing that is huge to her lol. Now I am going to go put my hand over my pullets just to see if they squat or not. I do know the older chicks and one or two of the hatchlings (who aren't babies anymore ) will sit at the "fence" and talk to Snape. He will sit over there almost all day unless he is foraging. He even lays by them and naps during the day. It's cute.Hard to say, is she squatting for you when you put your hand over her back? She may wait unitil the days get a little longer.
