The single seemed like she COULD have been just stretching her legs off the nest. But the 5 together appeared to be just feeding along as a group.Being only the 2nd/3rd week of June, hens with unsuccessful first attempts SHOULD be workung on a second attempt, I'd think.

Plus, not all hens will attempt a 2nd nest. Being it's the 2nd / 3rd week of June, some If not all of the hens in the group you seen could have already attempted second and even 3rd nests. Depending on the hatch in your area last year, it's possible you have a group of 1st year hens hanging together. I've heard a couple biologist state 1st Year hens just aren't that good at hatching nests.
