I have a barred rock, about 18 weeks old (not laying) who keeps getting
in the nesting boxes every day and throwing all the straw out. It's starting
to bug me. WHY is she doing this? Investigating? Thinking of laying? Every
day I go out to find golf balls on bare wood, and half the time with her looking
far too pleased with her self scratching around in there. Is this normal? Will
she quit? I've never had one do this. She isn't sleeping in there, just everytime I
put straw back in there, she can't wait it in there and root around in it.
