[CHICKENS-101] hens fighting for one nest

 

I 20 hens, and they all want to lay in one nest.

I had a buff go broody in the nest for the past few days, but I keep finding another hen in there with her.

I marked all the eggs (6) yesterday, and today she was off the nest with 2 other hens laying in the box.

Now there are 12 eggs and she doesn't want to get back on the nest.

How do I keep them from fighting over one nest? I have 8 nesting boxes all in a row, so they have others to choose from.

Thanks
