Hmm I don't have any solid advice but I have a question. How long has the second one been laying for? 2 things come to mind.
1] she just may have longer to go for her body to adjust to egg laying. Though it is peculiar she is brooding without consistently laying non deformed eggs.
2] if her...
Well she's still not broody yet but if she does I'm sure it wont be long. I went out and checked last night to see if the two girls were in their nest boxes. Broody #1 was in hers but broody #2 was up roosting with the cockerel and the 3rd pullet :[ so I quickly put eggs from her nest into...
I think my 3rd and final pullet is going to go broody as well. She's been wandering around just like the first one was and I noticed her picking up shavings and stray feathers and throwing them over her shoulder.
