Egg laying drama

Lilith, the Ancona, is ready to lay. Her comb is fully developed and very red. She is also making all the loud, agitated, squawking noises that they all make when it is their time. I escorted her to the nesting boxes to make sure that she didn't find some dark corner to lay in. I kept an eye on progress as I turned the bedding. One of the problem Black Star girls came in and started her hogging routine. She cases the joint and then jumps in a box already occupied. If she succeeds in driving out the sitter she moves in for a short while and then repeats her behavior all over again. She drove Lilith out and sppoked her. So I relocated Black Star to the holding pen, or stir, as we call it, put Lilith back in her chosen nest and closed the door to the coop. In a few minutes I'll check on everyone and decide whether or not to open things up again.
