Hi, I was letting my flock out this morning and checking for eggs when I discovered two of my EEs nesting in the same box. Normally, I wouldn't be too concerned about this, but one of the hens was seemingly suffocating the other. She was really out of breath so I moved the hen that was sitting on her and she jumped to the floor and ran off (she had already laid her egg). The poor choked baby began gasping but recovered enough in a minute or two and she sat down to lay again. How can I prevent this from happening again? The EEs like to share the same nesting box.
