    Egg Laying From Roost Bar

    The pullet I have that lays from the roost bars also lays outside in the middle of the yard. There are plenty of nest boxes - I don't think its about competition. She's just finishing a molt now and hasn't laid in 5-6 wks so I'll be curious to see where she lays once she starts up again. Her...

    Egg Laying From Roost Bar

    They are outside most of the day so not too crowded - lots of roost bar space. Multiple feed and water stations. Lots of calcium. Right now I have a bunch of chicks so everyone is on higher protein crumble as they are all eating the same feed. I'm thinking there is an 'internal issue'. I had...

I sometimes find an egg broken on the coop...

    Egg Laying From Roost Bar

    I have fake eggs. She often used the least occupied box so no problem there. Today I found a thin shelled egg laid out in the yard. I've given her yoghurt and oyster shells.

    Egg Laying From Roost Bar

    She has been laying for a couple of months no problem. I have 7 nest boxes for 18 hens. No matter how many you have there's always a favourite. It seems a bit odd that she'd lay an egg at 6:30am while standing on the roost bar. I'll increase her calcium intake and see if the shells thicken...

    Egg Laying From Roost Bar

    have a 9 month old pullet who has been laying regularly. For the past couple of weeks I've found broken eggs on the coop floor. I was assuming there was an egg eater in the coop who had knocked them out of the nest box. Then I realized she was laying them on the coop floor. A couple of days...
