It was on this morning.
There were a number of girls in the coop investigating the nesting boxes.
Lavender had snavelled the present favourite ~ & Aoife was sure it was much better than the 2nd rate hovel she had been relegated to.

She went round to stake her claim.
After all, the boxes are plenty big enough for 2!
Lavender does not think so.
I missed snapping the sharp reminder she gave Aoife but the kefuffle resulted in a broken egg. *sigh* Not Lavenders but a blue, which I suspect was buried somewhere under the mulch.

There are 4 good sized boxes available but it seems only one is acceptable & Lavender isn't sharing! Meanwhile everyone else is standing under the coop screeching their combined heads off! 🙄 The noise is unbelievable!!​

If only we could replicate what makes one nesting box better than all the rest. 🤔

I lost an egg yesterday that got rolled out of the nesting boxes and into the main coop. I will have to put the board back up soon.

We are going down to 6/7C overnight ~ which is really, really cold for us.
I went out to check on my girls & they are @ it again!!!
Thirteen ~ one- three, 13
on the top bar. Patricia is on her own on the Bar of Shame. :(
She's a big girl ~ for a while I thought I had inadvertently got a rooster~ & though the coop is *fresh* there's no discernible moving air, no feathers ruffling, so she will be all right if a little cooler than she'd like.
Wrold, clever little chickie, has tucked herself under Lavender & Alpia is snuggled between my other 2 Brs, Hepzibah & Soda. I worry more about my Littlies but they have scored the warmest spots! :D

Mine don't huddle until it is much colder. She will be fine.

We are just officially starting Summer and are currently in a warm, humid spell. Today's temps are 86/66 F or 30/19 C. My layer flock has been staying inside the cinder block coop to stay cool. They are only coming out at dawn and dusk. Although they did stay out in the rain last night.

I keep hoping one of Stanley's babies look like Patricia! I love the barred spots. :love
 
This silly kitty lays like doggie.... :lol:.... all stretched out...
