Got a dozen today. My extra rooster will be going to a new home this Friday. When vacates the little A-frame, I’ll have somewhere to break my broody that isn’t sitting on eggs.

3/3, Meryl Peep was a late layer today. Usually they're all done by 11ish but I grabbed that last one around 2.

For not laying but like two eggs in the whole first year I had her, She-Ra my wyandotte has turned into a very reliable hen!

How do you do that?
I have a very brood hen. She'll fluff her feathers but I shhh her and pet her and she let's me take her eggs. She's pulled all her stomach feathers, her comb got weird. She won't leave her nest to eat or drink. I tried bringing her food and I take her out of the nest. Sometimes she'll eat other times she won't. I gave her a couple of eggs to see if she'll hatch them but shes been jumping from one nest to another. She wants more eggs.

My oldest hen, Cookie, is a barred rock. She, of all my hens, would be broody. Ive had 6 nesting boxes available since before any of my 4 hens started laying.
Before my big 4 x 8 ft coop was built we had a small 4x2? store bought coop with an attached nesting box that divided into 2 boxes. They have to climb a plank to get in it and as they got bigger the nesting area got smaller so I removed the divider. It now fits one hen quite comfortably. Some days one hen is in the "waiting area" to get her time in the nest. Lol.
My question is why they dont use any of the other nesting boxes??
Just because they simply prefer the more private darker one? One hen, a RIR, lays the first egg early in the morning near the roost. The other 3 lay one after the other in the nesting box.

I can relate to the "Why they don't use any of the other nesting boxes". Mine climb in with the hen that's in a box and squeeze their big tushes in there, lol.
All my RIRs lay first thing in the morning also. Funny.
