Goin' broody...

One of the 'ladies' is going broody on us.  She's been sitting in the same spot in the coop for three days now.  Everything we read online says you just need to leave them alone and they'll get over it.  However, I so badly want to go out there, kick her out of the coop and tell her not to come back until she shapes up!

The lady in the upper nesting box is Coq Au Vin.  She is not broody.  She is in the coop simply to lay an egg.  I image she bawked at Blackie in chicken language that sounded something like this "Hey, LADY... can't I get some privacy around here!?!" 

The lady sitting on the floor is Blackie.  She is broody.  I imagine her response to Coq Au Vin went something like this, "Mind your own business LADY!  This is my coop too and I can lay here if I want to!!!". 

As you can see, both have valid points.
