New chick on the nest

[Bluewillow]

Hi I am new to the forum and chickens

I have sussex 1 red cock called red baron
1 red hen called chicken lil
three white hens with black necks called the three degrees
and 1 speckled cock called george all about 7 - 8 months old

I picked them up at chertsey show in surrey and enjoy keeping them.

They are all in togeather and seem to get along fine, I close the boys up at night and seperate them to stop the noise.

I have been getting 3 or 4 eggs a day until last week when one of the hens sat in the nest on top of the eggs and now I cant move her.

I havent the faintest idea what to do about her, but is shes happy then fine, altho I dont get any eggs anymore.

I want to show the specked if I can and am searching the internet for shows in my area.

I am primarily a horse owner succsessfully showing at all levels
