Egg Butt Puff
I want the term to catch on...
I really do.
EGG BUTT PUFF (or EBP):
Definition:
Egg Butt Puff is the day or two (or even week) before the eggs are laid. The area right next to the vent gets huge and puffy with the eggs that are waiting to come out. It is an excellent time line indicator of when to get ready for eggs to be laid, and when to prep your incubator boxes.
Here are some examples.
Please share yours!

After using this already to describe a snake to my girlfriend, I found PEB, or Puffy Egg-Butt, to roll off the tongue easier, haha. While I don't want to steal any thunder here, I might vote for the change to PEB for the sake of ease to speech .
