Hi all! I've got 5 laying hens, 5 chicks (hatched by a broody). I have 2 nest boxes, both of which were being used equally until the broody decided that was her nest. She sat her 3 weeks in it, hatched in there, and now, no one will touch it. I've cleaned it out, put in new nesting material, tried moving it around the coop, but nope. Even my Mama hen won't lay in there now, and prefers making her own hollow in the corner of the coop. Is this common? What's up?
Thanks,
Angela
