My B/W Ameracauna, Amelia, laid her first egg today. 6 days after her 1st squat!!! (She is from Wayne Meredith)

What a pretty egg.

What do you use in your nest boxes? It seems so clean and the hen looks very content sitting in it.

Anyway- I love my Meredith girls too

Thank you or should I say Amelia thanks you.

I just started using excelsior nesting material in October. Hardly any mess on the floor. I love them. It is very clean for sure. I can't remember who, but another BYCer suggested these. It was a great decision for sure.

The floor after being in use for one week.

(Plastic eggs are in the 1st, 3rd and 4th box)
