  • Wanted to share pics of our coop... We finally got it all set up the way I had originally intended (except I wanted the nest boxes in a different spot, but this works, too)! Just a few finishing touches, and it will be done! (After only a year and a half... 🙄)
    One question, though - most of my hens won't go up to the top nest boxes to lay. Any suggestions to get them interested?

    If they're used to laying in the bottom three, you could switch those to something less desirable, like a plastic nesting mat, and keep the nice straw bedding for top boxes only. No clue if this would work, but it's what I would do!
    What do you call a mud-covered chicken that crosses the road and then crosses back again? A dirty double-crosser!
