.....................about 2 weeks ago both of them crouched when I went to pick them up, which I believe means they are not far off now ............

Yes forgot about that crouching with the wings out slightly. They think you are the cock and are getting themselves ready for the deed.

Straw as hay can be dusty and Chickens and dust do not mix. Personally I use dust free shavings as I can pick out the droppings easy also it comes in a bag and I don't end up with straw every where.

Don't give them hay at all, it's quite tough compared to straw and can get compacted in their crops.
