    Broody Silkie

    My broody silkie bantam is really squacky and ruffles her feathers alot. I have to take her out of the nesting box and then she freaks out a little and I think she might sleep in the nesting box. Should I do something about it?

    Not laying in the nesting box

    Thanks everyone! Today when I left for work my silkie Fluttershy was in the nesting box. When I got home, her egg was in the run. Is it possible that the more superior chickens are kicking her out? I think she's the lowest in the pecking order.

    Not laying in the nesting box

    My 6 mo old silkie is laying, but more often than not the eggs are found in the corner of the girls' run. Is it ok that she is laying her eggs there? How can I prevent this? Thanks! Also sorry! I did not realize that I posted this twice

    Not Laying In the Nesting Box

    My 6 month old silkie is laying, but more often than not, her eggs are found in the corner of our run outside rather than in the nesting box. Is it ok that she is doing this? How can I get her to lay in the box? Thanks!

    Helpful tips?
