One of these hens needs to come Out of the box! These are Dominique hens, (sisters) and apparently want the same thing as is often the case with sisters. They were funny to watch as they jostled for position and in the end, there were three eggs so another hen must have been in there first. The box is only 12 inches by 12 inches and there are six different nesting boxes. I painted each one a different bright color to see what chickens prefer. In the end, the color didn't seem to be an issue at all but rather, the 3 boxes on the top row seem to be preferred, although they lay in all of them.
