It's all fun and games until someone has an egg screaming to come out of her hooter. The poor Delawares, they're still fairly new to laying. They will only lay in the box. The older hens, if they must, will lay wherever "X" marks the spot, i.e. anywhere.
Lucy, in the lower coop, hasn't a clue as to what is taking place above her. She reminds me of me in my 20's, out dancing at a club one night with a friend while right behind me a full-fledged bar brawl was taking place. "La Dee Da Dee Da Dee Da..." Oh, to be oblivious.
I didn't know how ugly things would get. I thought they'd work it out and one would resign with dignity but no. It was clear there would be no backing down. Just to have you know, I am not a completely cruel mistress; I did add a third box shortly after turning off the camera. They have all refused to use it.
