I have been letting eggs accumulate in the nest box, the one my splash Maran uses. It was twelve as of yesterday, with a few non Maran eggs I put in there on days she did not lay an egg. At one point do I realize that she isn't going to sit on those eggs at all. thirteen? fifteen? Now???
She is having some different behavior last night she roosted outside the coop. I have a small flock, the three oldest I started out in the coop so they tend to go there at night, except the mother hen, occasionally. Other chickens I added don't bother to go in the coop at all, they hang out in the run on a roost. So the Maran stayed outside on the roost for the first time ever last night.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
