I live in Texas and I have 1 black Australorp named Scuffle, 2 Buff orpingtons named Emerald and Shaker, 2 New Hampshire Reds named Willhemina (Willa) and Cuddlebug, a Black Silkie Bantam Cockerel named Bootleg, a Rhode Island Red named Theodore (I am not sure if he/she is male or female, if she is a girl Theodora or boy, Theodore.), a Barred Rock named Shelly, and a White Cochin Bantam Cockerel named Buddy.

That sounds like a fun assortment.

Hello!! I would really like to join your flock as well!

Welcome. Tell us about your chickens.

How does that work - do they wait for her to go off the nest once a day and zip in there to lay in that box? Or was there a doubling up without fighting so someone could lay in the box while she's there sitting?

Betty was definitely laying in the box with her. I've seen that many times. I'm pretty certain I caught Sydney and Aurora as well. As little as Phyllis was off the nest I believe that everyone else was laying in the box with her there.

Well, not exactly, but I have one that looks EXACTLY like it!!

Similar to this maybe?
