I saw this post and I went home for lunch....

I knew one of the younger ones just started laying-wasn't sure which. I found one of the brahmas in the nest box. My first thought was it looked like she was sitting versus laying and I really hope not. It's 30 degrees here now and I would nott even consider chicks.
