Hens sharing nest boxes? Broody hens?
Our take
Hens sharing nest boxes can be a cluck-tastic spectacle, especially when broody hens are involved! Meet Bell, my white Brahma, who has taken over a nest box for the past week, fully embracing her motherly instincts. Today, I was greeted by a delightful surprise—Motherclucker was halfway under her, making for quite the cozy arrangement! Meanwhile, RED and Ombré decided to join in on the fun by sharing another box, proving that even chickens can appreciate a little companionship. It’s a charming sight that showcases the quirky dynamics of our feathered friends, where a little bit of fowl play can lead to unexpected snuggles. Have you ever witnessed such adorable antics with your flock? Let’s share the joy of chicken camaraderie!
