Hello everyone
I have a hen who is a new layer (about 3 weeks or so) and today she spend most of the day in the nesting box. She seemed happy and is preening herself but this has never happened with any of her 30 "sisters". Should I be concerned? I haven't checked for an egg under her yet.

thanks!
 
Does she fluff up and get upset when you try and move her? If yes I would guess she's feeling broody. Even typically 'non broody' breeds can go broody, as my production red likes to prove...
 
She was still in the box earlier this evening when everyone else was starting to roost. Haven't checked again so far tonight. thanks!
 
She is a 6 month old Golden Comet. She will let me pet her and doesn't seem to get upset with me at all
