I bought 2 double nesting boxes.
Theoretically that should be ample for 15 hens, especially given most of the older hens prefer to lay in one of the outside nests.
Not so. They are already doubling up.

Shuri & Chavi...
so every box is occupied by a screaming banshee & not one of them do I want to put eggs under!
This is going to be a very long summer! *sigh*

When you do give one eggs, where will she sit? There seems to be so much action in those nests that it would be hard to not get broken eggs. The nests were a great purchase. They took to them right away!

The bantams don't seem to break eggs. I had 2 lots of 3 last year ~ & no broken eggs. The girl I need to sit will choose her spot & no~one will mess with her. She's tiny but fierce!

The joke never gets old for you, does it @BY Bob? Have some pity on me. Today is only the 2nd day of our spring & a couple of these girls are about to max out their 21 days.

Their little faces are just too much

Olivia making her way up the tree & onto the crossbar where she will wait patiently for her turn to be carried to bed. She chatters constantly. I think she likes being @ my eye level but she gets anxious as she sees everyone else disappear into the shed while she is still waiting. I usually do her last as it's a good excuse for a little cuddle & a bedtime story ~ her to me.​

I am very fond of that little chicken. She is very endearing.
