I have just been outside to watch through the window of the coop. There were about 4 hens in the nests and a couple that were doing the "I want to find the right nest" squak outside of the the nests. I noticed that there was a hen, one of my neighbors hens(an EE) walking along the edge of the nesting boxes and pecking at the hens that were laying in them until they had enough and got out of the boxes...then she jumped down and layed on the floor. I wonder if that's one of the reasons that they aren't laying. I wouldn't want to be pecked at while trying to lay an egg either. I'm going to have a word with my neighbor and see if he can find another place for "his" chickens to live.
