Learning to share

Nest partners One of the cochin hens, and Thelma one of our banties. Believe it or not, they both laid eggs in there today! This is not the first time I've seen Thelma in there with a large hen. I think she gets a little impatient with them and pushes her way in there! The first time I caught her in there with another hen, the hen was actually setting on top of her, this seems to work a little better! The funny thing is that we have four other nest boxes but the hens all want to lay their eggs in the two boxes :)
