It's our first time having chickens so we get surprised quite often.
We added our 4 nesting boxes yesterday and Mr. Rooster hopped in and sat on each of the wooden eggs for about five minutes each.
I don't know if he was instructing the hens in their duties or telling them to get on with it...
The first time my husband saw our chickens taking a dust bath he ran in panicked to tell me. The chickens had dug their holes and were laying in them to cool off, but he thought they were sick! LOL I told him to wait a few minutes. Sure enough once they got used to him watching them "bathe"...
