Anyone here got any pictures of their nest boxes that have doors on them? For some unknown reason my hens are wanting to stay in the nest boxes from sun up to sun down. They don't want to get out! Most are moulting. Never had this problem before.

I've introduced a new flock of young hens to the group and that is when all this wanting to stay in the boxes started. I have a guinea in the mix and I don't think they like her very much, she is very controlling and aggressive. Maybe that is what the problem is???? Who knows?

Thank you for your help and pictures.

I agree that it sounds like they are going broody. I have a brown leghorn that has been broody for 2 or 3 weeks now. I am not having much luck in breaking her yet.
