hi all,  got woken up at 5.30 this morning by one of my girls making a proper racket, got up and let them out and the noisy one stayed in her nest box, there was no egg under her, she stayed there another 20 mins then decided to get up, she seems ok in her self, i was just a bit concerned why all the noise this morning, she has never done it for that long before, she must have clucked for a good hour with the others occasionally joining in,  i expect im just being a mother hen, and worrying about my girls,

Don't know if the rosey is an indication of a problem, but sometimes my Maran goes into the nest box, sits in there for a couple of hours, then saunters out again.  She used to lay an egg a day - for 17 weeks straight, and can't seem to break the habbit of going in there every day!
