Over the past week or 2 I've found in the nest box when I've went for eggs-at first I thought she was laying but then I started to wonder. Today I knew she'd laid and was about to take the egg out when Isobelle decided she needed to lay and promptly sat down and wouldn't let me take the eggs already there. I went back after Isabelle had announced her egg had been laid nad founf Ruby again sitting in the nest box on top of all 3 eggs (one from ech of the girls) She did let me move her out and didn't seem too put out by my moving her but now I'm starting to wonder if she could be going broody?

I've also found her in the run on a number of occasions looking like she was going to lay for ages (after she already had in the nest box).

Any ideas?

Sounds like she might be thinking of it, although she'll stop laying if she's broody.

 

I've just let one of mine out of the broody cage - she's fine now.
