I think the issue is our big RIR, the Kahuna, is going to lay her first egg. She started acting funny yesterday, uncomfortable and distressed. They've been crowding into the 2 nesting boxes on chilly nights, and last evening someone injured the Kahuna's wattle when she tried to get in. Sooo...she spent the night in our bathroom. Brought her out in the morning, everything was fine until DISTRESS! She wanted back in the coop and tried to be comfortable in a nesting box for a while. Nothing happened, then she wanted to be with the gang.
I'm nervous to let her sleep with the gang tonight in case she gets attacked again. She's usually pretty high up in the pecking order, so that's not the norm. But is it worse to keep disrupting her routine? Chicken drama!!!
