Broodies everywhere

Damn chickens are so peculiar! Hannah decided she wanted to lay where Ken is sitting on three eggs, which she does every day. However, today ended up in a chicken argy-bargy and the egg Hannah laid got spoilt, as did one of the ones Ken was sitting on - which she then ate YUK.

I've now removed Ken to a separate nesting cage with her two remaining eggs and Hannah can lay where she likes.

Meanwhile, Ava has also gone broody. So she sits outside the kennel (cat kennel - some of the hens prefer to lay in there) until Grace or Daryl lays an egg - then she sits on it and refuses to move. MORE argy-bargy. They're all bonkers!
