7 mos old Australorp pullet getting in and out of the nest for approx the last 2 hrs.

Should I be concerned about this it is almost time for them to roost and one of my Australorps has been getting in and out of the coop nests ( using different ones there are 5) for approx. the past 2 hrs. I picked up my eggs around 5:30 so there aren't any eggs in the nests unless she has laid one but I am leaving her alone for now not sure if I should be concerned??

Keep an eye on her she may become if broody.

Cream and Bob she just laid an egg at almost 8:00 pm at night...this is a first for my 12 girls....the strange thing is I'm pretty sure she already laid an egg earlierBut maybe not....

She's just trying to keep you guessing

How long has she been laying?
Newly laying pullets can take up to a month or so for things to smooth out,
but I've had older birds lay a late egg.

Hi aart she is already laying....but last night she was moving around from nest to nest for approx. 2 hrs. and it was time to roost almost. I went out there right before dark as I saw she was out of the next from my kitchen window because I have 3 australorps and I saw all three outside the coop..when I went out she had laid an egg at almost 8:00..?? I had collected eggs earlier around 5:00 and I got 10 eggs from 12 pullets I thought all my australorps had already laid...usually it is my younger Wellsummers who don't lay every day...is it possible she laid 2 eggs?

aart she has been laying about 4 weeks she is around 7 months old....

is it possible she laid 2 eggs?

Possible, but not likely.
She may have been nervous because she needed to lay but also needed to roost.
I wouldn't worry about it too much....chickens do weird stuff.
