I am on my second batch of chickens, and all of ours are hens, thank God. I have 2 White Leghorns who started laying eggs in August. One of them has decided to stay in the nest box all the time. Since I have had surgery and cannot be with the chickens at this time, my husband is taking care of them for me. He has managed to get her off the nest box and out. She seems fine when she is out, but eventually goes back to the nest box. I did go out there and check them out today, and when I opened the door to the coop she was there and fluffed up her feathers in anger. I think she even growled.
Anyone else have this problem? Will she always be this way? What can we do to help her?
