Thanks everybody. As soon as I read the first post she hopped down so I was too late for today. I'll just keep her cooped up for the next three days. I do have a decoy egg in the nest box that looks and feels just like the ones she lays. No run attached to the coop, they just free range. I took some pics. I think she's so beautiful!

You have a run to your coop? May have to confine her there for a day or 2 to get her used to the nest box.. I wouldn't worry too much about broody till spring

Yes, she's just started laying her first eggs so I don't expect her to be broody for awhile. I think I will need a rooster, a chocolate Orp rooster! And since my others are babies (8 weeks old) a rooster probably isn't a good idea right now is it? They had a hard enough time adjusting to the pecking order of adding in "Big Mama"!

after you get her laying in coop..you may want to make the stump a little univiting. Maybe make it hard to get too or something. Or set something on nest so she cant

I've got one that insists on a galvanized bucket, under the bbq in the garage... Then she "big big big eggs" until we tell her what a good girl she is.

Someone else probably posted this, but I really don't have time to read the whole thread. Does anyone know any chicken breeders close-ish to Seattle? I l live very close to Seattle, but I can keep chickens here.

There are all sorts of folks here and on the b/s/t forum. It all depends on what you're looking for.
