I had my girls out in the yard the other day and kinda forgot they were out, oops! I remembered when it was dark and went to make sure they were in their coop. I have 6 hens, and I wanted to make sure they all in. So, I open the coop door and all 6 of them are crammed in one nesting box! They were sitting on top of one another. I had to pick the ones on top up to make sure they were all in there. They have always slept on top of each other, but 2 of them just started laying, so I just put the nesting in the coop. I live in southern VA, so its not like its cold at night. Is this normal? And how to I stop them from sleeping in their nesting box? Its full of poo everyday!
