Get that number down to half it's size, all old eggs go those really nasty ones, that to me is over doing especially for first time broody's. I usually give first timers about 4-5 eggs to start with. Then next season they get more.So... My girls are all laying in the one box and they're now up to 20+ eggs. The box is FULL and they aren't either interested in laying in the new boxes we made them OR going broody.
What do I do? This is driving me batty with anticipation!!
They've started pushing several into a new pile in the corner of thier box but there just isn't room.
Plus some of these eggs are getting close to 30 days old so surely they can't still be viable?
Help please! Can I do anything to promote nesting?
