    Tips and tricks for new egg layers??

    We put golf balls in our nesting boxes so they have an idea where to lay. My chicken laid her first egg in the roost. But once she figured out they she is supposed to lay in the boxes that’s where she has been laying. So you might get 1 or 2 eggs in the yard until she learns to lay in a box.

    Tips and tricks for new egg layers??

    Thank you!! I opened the nesting boxes today. And our new layer went inside and laid an egg. So that’s a good start. This new egg is Tiny but that’s normal ( from what a read). Thank you for the tips!
