    Laying in the dark - before sunrise

    I would open the nest boxes for a night or two, and see what happens. My girls were sleeping and pooping in their nest boxes until they started to lay. Now apparently they've decided sleeping in nest boxes is for babies... Lol. Now they all sleep on their roosts. I thought they never would...

    Call Ghostbusters- I've been slimed!

    I found something similar in the run a few days ago. None of my girls have laid yet. Looking forward to input from everyone!
