jane carter Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi, I wonder if anyone else has seen this, quite often two of our girls share the nest box when laying. They don't appear to be bothered by it but I've just never heard of it before. Thanks J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 My two are quite often in there together - just a bit of bad timing I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm200 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ours all disappear into the cube between 8 and 9 each morning while they are all laying. Often there are two in the nestbox with the rest waiting on the roosting bars or giving moral support. Occassionally, one will pop out onto the perch to bok loudly about her achievement but then disappears back inside... Only 4 of ours are laying but Poppy still waits inside while the others lay their eggs. Maybe if she watches often enough she'll get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've had 3 in the nest box before, little bantams, piled on top of each other. They don't seem bothered by it and it makes me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen&Lee Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I had 4 broodys at one point in my cube nesting box - Brahmas at that and the others still managed to squeeze in to lay Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've had all three trying to get in there at once as well when Sylvie was in her broody phase. Sadly mine were bovvered - and when she came out Hyacinth duffed her up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
