Thank you both!! Unfortunately they also do with real eggs if one is laid in there or if I have put one in there. Not all of them are laying yet so I was hoping to get them to lay in the nesting box. The weird thing is, at first the chicken laying consistently laid eggs in the box and now she...

I am not an expert by any means and I could be totally wrong, but I have a d’uccle and yours look pretty identical to mine! If yours have beards and muffs then they would be d’uccles, I’m pretty sure at least. Someone please correct me about all of this if I’m wrong haha
