What a Hoot, I had no idea! Too bad I can't see what she's doing in there for that hour it might be a lot more entertaining than I thought! It make a person wonder how several hens manage to share the same box when they are such nest hogs.
Thank you all for your stories, I love this forum...
Yes, I'm new to this game and I only have one hen that is laying, she's the EE in my avatar. Isn't it kind of unusual for a hen to sit in the nest box for an hour (or more) to lay her egg each day??? Do you think it's taking that long to lay the egg, or is she just lounging around afterward...
