Two more hens found a place to nest. I saw before that the rooster had wis with the nes I guess to show a pace to make a nest? he did that with both hens. These are up about 8 feet in the car port. The brown and whith hen I thing has more that 12 eggs since she can't sit on all of them at once. Another hen went on top of her to force her out. She might of laid some eggs while the nest was unattended. Later, that one laid 4 eggs where she had a nest before on a shelf near the door. The black one I wasn't able to check but probably around 8 or so. It gets pretty hot so I have a container for water if they get thirsty.

Thanks. Nothing made to house them. They are feral. The hen that laid 5 eggs is the one in the center of the pic. She is pretty bossy. The one on the right comes back to this shelf and 8 chick sleep with her. There is a step ladder next to the shelf so the chicks can go up each step. The one on left didn't come back. I replace newspaper and cardboard every morning and wash the carport floor every morning and late afternoon.
