11 of my 14 hens all decided to use the same nest today. I don't like to disturb the hens when they're on the nest, so this is what I found when the last hen finally finished and got off the nest:

Aren't they pretty? The picture quality doesn't show it well, but most of the eggs are now the pink/tan color I've been waiting to see from my brahma hens.
 
LOL! Mine do that too. I have a low box outside for the chukars to sleep in, but the hens get in there to lay. 3 inside at once, with a waiting line outside!

The sight I'll never forget is Lilith straddling another hen and laying her egg on that hen's back! They were having nest box fights that day and a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
Lilith is the lowest ranking member of my flock and sometimes paybacks are sweet.
