    Any suggestions on getting the hens to lay in the nesting box?

    We made an egg!!! Woo hoo! Isn't it adorable!!! Our first egg! However, the hen dropped in in the sand box (where they take a dust bath). Any suggestions on getting them to use the nesting box? The box is a nice cozy size, with comfy bedding, and two of those fake eggs inside. I'm...

    When is the best time to introduce the Nesting Box?

    My guess is (if we pop the boxes in now we'll be okay) and our birds will continue to sleep on their perch. They LOVE the perch. They crack me up every morning when I wake them up. They stretch and shake their legs. It's very cute. I cannot be 100%, but they seem genuinely happy to see me...

    Hi Everyone! SoFlo Here!

    They are mutts. We have a close friend who breeds them - both for eggs and meet. So they should be LARGE birds. They are supposedly excellent daily layers as well as being rather large. That's why we only got 4. We want the eggs :p
