Minty starts singing as she leaves the nest, then exits the coop and gets a few bites to eat as she continues to sing.
Astrid only sings if someone else begins.
Today Minty and Florence beat Astrid to the nesting area (3 boxes for 6 hens) and proclaimed her complete annoyance with a different but still loud song for about 20 minutes. She will not begin to nest unless she is the only one in there.
Florence is quick. She sings a quiet version of the song as she is laying.
Nelly announces her intention to nest and just gets it done.
I have two more, yet to lay. They both took interest in the nesting boxes today. I've got my fingers crossed!
