I have a hen who just started laying yesterday. We were caught off guard and had their nesting boxes blocked off until they were at laying age, which we thought was a few weeks out. Well we were wrong and she is now laying eggs under the roosting poles. We u'n blocked the nesting boxes and made nice little nests for them. How do we get her to move, any suggestions?
