Uncommon but not unusual?
Our take
Welcome to the whimsical world of chicken dynamics! It sounds like you’ve found yourself in a cluck-tastic situation with two of your feathered friends deciding to share a Very Favorite egg box. While it might seem a bit unusual, it’s not unheard of for broody hens to cozy up together, especially in a space they both adore. With four chickens in the mix, the bickering for top chicken status adds an extra layer of drama to your coop. Managing multiple broody hens can be a fun challenge, and it’s a great opportunity to observe their quirky behaviors. Let’s dive into this delightful scenario and explore the ins and outs of your broody duo and their egg-citing antics!

| We have two broody chickens and a Very Favorite egg box. They have apparently decided they are both laying on the eggs together. Is this uncommon but not unusual? We have 4 chickens and these two also like to bicker about who is the top chicken. (I know how to manage a broody chicken(s), I've just never had two in the same box) [link] [comments] |

- broody hen drama?! 😂Ok, so one of my hens, Boujiee (aka Miss Boujiee Butt because her tail feathers were gone and her butt looked a little… questionable 💀), has been hoarding and laying on eggs. She rarely leaves the coop—and if she does come out (because she knows I have treats), the SECOND I even look like I’m heading toward the coop, she sprints back in, throws herself over the eggs, and instantly turns into a full-blown security system. Like ma’am… nobody is coming for your children 😭 I’ve officially decided to just let her have them. Now here’s where it gets funny—our other hen, Goldie (because of her pretty golden-laced feathers), will sometimes go sit on the eggs when Boujiee gets up… like they’re co-parenting or splitting custody or something. BUT TODAY… I found TWO eggs just sitting in the middle of the coop. Not in the nest. Not hidden. Just… placed there. And it honestly looked like Boujiee moved them so Goldie could sit on those instead of her sacred egg stash. Like she really said: “Here. Those TWO are YOURS. THESE are MINE.” 😤🐔 Is that even possible?? 😂 Has anyone else experienced this kind of chicken drama?? submitted by /u/Consistent-Roof-4685 [link] [comments]
