    Hens aren't laying eggs in laying boxes

    Our hens won't lay their eggs in the boxes, they lay them on the floor and in one certain corner of the coop. We get one egg from the boxes but the rest on the floor. Why do most of them lay in the same spot? How can I get them to lay in the boxes not on the floor in the corner?

    Hard boiled fresh brown eggs for deviled eggs

    Are the eggs good or bad?

    One of our bantams has laid a few eggs in a nest that I just found the other day, I don't know how long the eggs have been there but she just started sitting on them today. Now my question is will the eggs hatch because they weren't sat on before today? Our little bantam roosters have been...
