I knew I would find the information I needed when I came to this forum. Thank you to all who share your stories. We thought our three nest boxes would be more than enough for the five, LOL, chickens we are "allowed" to have ihave (or the dozen or so that we actually have.) The middle nest box was everybody's favorite, and that's pretty much the only place anyone ever laid her eggs. I somehow expected the Buff to go broody, but then she took the Polish with her, and then the Ameracauna! , The girls would be squawk g at the broodies to get out, so they could go do their business, ans a queue would actually form! (like planes ready to take off on the runway! ) At one point the Ameracauna was actually sharing the nest box with the Polish, and the girls were quite OK with that, LOL. I ousted everyone yesterday, and the girls spent a good amount time in the yard, and were actually some of the latest ones back into the coop, so we'll see how today goes, otherwise, I'll ensue the help of the Broody Buster method. It is just too plain hot for them to stay in the coop all day-the humidiiture yesterday was 105°! (Even the chickens in the yard were hot.) At first when I had to take them off the pile of eggs, I felt bad, since both of our roosters are about old enough to produce fertile eggs, but I quickly got over that, LOL Now I'm starting to wonder if we have any resistant ones, if I should just go ahead and see if they will hatched chicks out… thank you for all of the stories shared. I will report back in a couple of days to let y'all know how things went.
