It was not under the hen. It was in the open about 8 inches away from her. The other girls are relentless and practically sit on top of her to lay their eggs, and of course all of a sudden that is the box they want.
My little silky has been sitting on eggs( not hers) for 21 days. I have been waiting for the miracle of birth from my little chicks. ( I feel like a grandma. lol) unfortunately, After she became broody I could not move her and her eggs because she started to panic so I was not able to keep her...
