In the Brooder
So our ladies are about 15 weeks old. We have 2 of each: White Rocks, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Black Stars and Americanas. We just added the nesting boxes to the coop with straw in them. Should we occasionally put ceramic eggs in there so they can see them in there? Or do they just sort of know where to lay their first egg?
I see the Silver Laced Wyandottes are really red wattles and crop, but I haven't seen any "squatting" activities. My one White Rock would just be happy to lay in the dirt all day. She loves to make her self a spot (right in front of the coop door) to lay and cover herself in dirt. I don't think that is a "laying" thing, but not sure.
EGGcited for our first eggs!!!!
