Well, I saw today she is laying. She'll lay then sit on her egg. I thought maybe she was just a little tired but she stayed in there for hours before i decided enough was enough and took her out. Set her on concrete and she just sat there for a bit.
No bugs, first thing I checked for. We have been hot this week. I'm giving deep shade, ice to stand on/in, cool water, frozen treats, and they also have access to our garage which is air conditioned. That's why I'm a bit confused. She leaves the ac garage to go sit in the hot nesting box. I did notice shes plucked some feathers and was sitting on them in the box though. Nothing noticable but I saw them and checked her.
How does that work?
Kind of. We have a doggy door that we just never took out. One chicken was brave enough to push through and they all followed. Now when I let them out of the run they all run to the garage. Some even fly so they dont have to touch the hot ground for to long.How does that work?
Do you have a little chicken door that say "Cool Inside"?
That's what I keep thinking but so fat shes not sitting in there at night. Once I get her out it seems to do the trick....until the next day.How does that work?

Sorry, humors weird this morning....
....she sure sounds like she want to go broody.
Huh....Just keep tossing her out...hopefully she is not just having a hard time laying.
She is laying, maybe not every day, but most day I get 7 eggs. And I have 7 laying pullets. I'll keep an eye on her. I'm thinking about getting a camera so I can see how long it takes her to lay since shes sitting on it afterwards. I don't want to continue to check on her because I feel that may cause her to take longer.
That's good idea.....some birds are 'loungers'.
