    Who do my chickens want to lay in one nest box only

    My six chickens all want to lay in one nest box. If it's occupied then they start crackling very loud, roam around in and out waiting for the last hen to get off. Does anyone know why they all have to have the same box? We have four to choose from. Thank you group.

    One broody hen others not laying eggs

    Thank you. The broody hen doesn't lay eggs and we are not letting her hatch. She is the oldest ( 3 yrs) and the queen of the flock, my favorite. She's an Australorp black named Inky. She's been broody 3 times now and none of the others have been broody. We do make her come out and she will...

    One broody hen others not laying eggs

    I have 6 hens. One is broody and is in the favorite nesting box. We only get one or two eggs each day from the rest since she has become broody. The others don't like her in their nest box which they usually all use. There has been no other changes in food, etc. Do you think this is the cause...
