I have three hens - a barred rock, an olive egger, and an ameraucana. Zeke, the barred rock, is friendly and outgoing. She eats out of my hand, loves the granddaughters, and she gives me a lovely brown egg every day. If she wants to lay an egg and someone is in "her" egg box she squawks and squawks. There's nothing wrong with the other box. I wish she would quiet down!
