You cant beet colored totes with a hole cut out for the hen. open the lid and get the eggs or clean the nest,

put the boiled egg in a pint jar add a little cold water put the lid on and give it a shake or two or three. This works very well.

I tried to use a unused kitty litter box. It didnot work the hens had nothing to do with it. I think the cat sent was still present. I have had more luck with dark colored tote boxes. Just cut a opening for the hen. When you gather the eggs just lift the lid to gather the eggs.

I have two delewares and two red pullets? I looked at their combs this morning. The delewares are bright red. I am expecting an egg any day! anticipation!! thank you for replying to my question.
