Rollerblading along the road
Hi, wasn't sure where to post this but since I'm attaching video, I'll start a new thread.
So Sam is now just shy of 6 months old but here cere is turning quite brown. She has always been very playful and loves to jump through her rings and also loves to play on her back. Lately she likes to flip onto her back on my laptop in front of videos that I may be watching. She will flip over nad wait for me to scratch her neck. All the while making that quacking sound that little hens make. With her cere turning brown however I guess I'm afraid of our playtime being mistaken by her as mating behavior. I (and my son) had a little solitary hen years ago that started laying eggs whenever my son would interact with her (she would sit on his glasses and coo). She became a chronic layer. When she would tire of sitting on one clutch she would start laying again with almost no time in between. She eventually succombed to egg binding at 3 yrs. old. I'm trying to avoid anything like this happening again. I have posted video below. Should I stop playing with her like this. It is only her neck that I touch but still...
