. I seem to find the majority of eggs in one box & often catch 2 at a time in one box. Silly girls

I always feel sorry for the bottom lady.
If I happen to be in the coop at the time, I'll usually lift the last girl and place her in her own nest, just to end the silliness...lol.

May I ask, what is the top cinnamon colored hen's breed? @Arztwolf



Ohhhh...I reread your post. She's a Buff Orpington?

that looks ridiculous! i have a bantam who does that, maybe they want to lay their eggs in a nest box with eggs already in it

I've had three birds go broody and "gather" eggs that one. I once had a BO (while not having a Turken rooster, but two Turken hens) hatch out 4 half Turken chicks and 1 BO cross chick.

I find the majority of my eggs in THREE BOXES! So that can be sometimes 7-10 eggs!

it's really funny when i find my bantam in the same nest box as one of my buff orpingtons! she seems like she is trying to hide under the orpington's feathers!

Some of my Favorelles seem to enjoy cuddling with any hen or roo they find.

I've got several hens of the "peck first, ask questions later" persuasion. I keep my hands OUT of the nest box when it's occupied.
The hen in the very first pick is Calliope, a Bantam of unknown breed.


and she is brooding eggs and this is probably the father.
