2 eggs, wait your turn!

2 eggs today. I was working around the garden this morning and could here one of the cochin hens up in the coop laying an egg. All the other chickens were peking and scratching around the garden for bugs and weeds. After a few minutes I saw, what I thought was the laying hen coming down from the coop and out into the garden. I didn't think anything of it and continued working on what I was doing. After a few minutes i noticed there was still a hen at the top of the coop. A couple of minutes passed and here comes then 2nd hen again, into the chicken tractor and up the later into the coop, and then a minute later, down she comes again.

Then I realized what was going on. I had read how chickens will share nesting boxes and will sometimes line up to lay their eggs and that is exactly what was happening. The second hen was running up and down the ladder to check and see if the laying box was available..... lol After a 15 minutes of this, she finally got her turn.
