I have some plastic bins on the coop as nesting boxes. I kept the kids on and cut a hole in the side to go in

I have one I turned around and put the opening up against the wall. It was only getting used a place for Pippa and gabby to poop. :hmm
Over the past few weeks I have noticed Pippa figured out how to get in there first few times she couldn't figure out how to get back out.

I have noticed she is in there at night I dont know if she stayed on there all night

This morning I looked and she probably has like 6+ eggs in there. I didn't look to see I'd any of them were my hen Sally's to see if she was taking them.

So I am thinking she is getting really go sit on some babies soon.

I'm gonna let her do it.

You think that is what she is up to?
 
Is she staying on the nest all day too? Does she growl at you if you get close to her or reach under her? Is she flattened into a pancake? If you remove her from the nest does she puff up and constantly make a low “cluckcluckcluckcluckcluck” until she’s back on the nest?

Not yet
I still think she is collecting /laying until she has more eggs.
She also might just like the alone time

I'll keep you updated
