Why is it....

[PulletSurpriseWinner]

....that we have three adult hens, FIVE nest boxes, and yet this still occurs?

Enquiring minds want to know!! (McNugget and VERY PO'ed Penny).

Welcome to the world of chickens. Who knows what goes on in those little brains of theirs. But I have the SAME issues over a my house. So welcome to the club!

 

[scratch'n'peck]

I know, right? Some of my hens put up with growling and pecking to use the popular nest box at the same time, even though there are other perfectly fine, unoccupied nest boxes on either side.

Who knows why the chickens do the things they do. But, hey, the pileup works for them!
