6 eggs under a rosemary bush!

One of my black rocks is broody right now and a right mardy little madam - she is going to be borrowed by a man with fertilised eggs for a few weeks later.
anyway, I thought the other 2 had gone off lay because of Mrs grumpy hogging the nest box but this morning I found 6 eggs (3 brown, 3 white) under a bush - once mrs broody goes to be foster mum, do you think the other 2 will start laying in their box again? or is it going to be a case of egg hunts for a while?

Don't know - but one of ours has gone broody too. I keep chucking her out of the nest - have source of fertilised eggs but nowhere seperate for her to be with chicks.

Try multiple nest boxes in their shed - even a cardboard box?
