    Evie, things are definitely crazy this season! My first 5 eggs turned out to be no good – the pair then began another nest in different box, but have not finished it. A few days ago I removed the 5 eggs from other box but left the nice, neat nest for an emergency nest, intending to put it in the freezer. Well, now this pair is dancing back & forth between these two boxes, not laying eggs in either one, but definitely “in the mood” with all the wing-waving going on.
    My thought for your boxes is to leave them alone & watch – like you say it could be a different pair. Good luck!!
