    Setting on empty nest

    One of my best Marans hens started setting in a horse feeder. At first she layed off and on, and now not at all. What do I do to get her to stop setting on the empty nest? How about putting her in a crate/pen with a wire bottom and no bedding?

    Cedar shavings -Yes or No

    What is the story on cedar shavings, some say you can't use them, other say that they do use them. If it's the oil in the shavings then well dried shavings should be OK, right? Opinions on both sides welcome!

    Spider webs

    Is there a spray or another way to prevent, or lessen spiders in the coop? The cobwebs collect dust look nasty and get you dirty when you are working in the coop. I hate getting a head full of dusty dirty cobwebs when I am working in the pens.

    Nipples Enough?

    I have waterers and I noticed that no matter how many nipples I have out for the birds they will rush maddly to open water if it becomes available.

    Not Using a nest box-

    What can I do to get my silver laced cochins to lay in a nest box instead of under it? I have shelving sectioned off for nesting. The Jersey Giant uses it but the cochins will not. Do I need to enclose the front, make the nesting material deeper, or what.

    Butler bobs still laying

    My butler bobs have shown no sign of slowing laying. When should they stop laying? I really don't care to keep hatching more through the winter . It's a pain getting them to a heater free stage in the winter, but I guess if they keep laying I'll keep hatching. At that rate even though I...
