While I read this article, it gave me some good ideas to stop the bullying at the nesting boxes. We have 11 layers and eight boxes, but they only want to use three of them. One of the girls (Gracie) steals all the eggs into one box and just loves on them until Spankie screams at her to get out. So what am I missing...curtains. Gonna do this tomorrow.View attachment 1613204 View attachment 1613205

As a newbie to raising chickens (and eggs), I really enjoyed your article, especially the illustrations. When we went from two eggs to five overnight, we did the butt check to see who looked like they had "given birth", lol. Girls who were kinda mean and flighty, were now hunkering down when we walked past them for some love. So we give them all the love they ask for. Happy chickens are great egg layers.
