Thank you, I'll keep working by on it. In do have some of her eggs that I took from her nest a few weeks ago. Should I put a couple of those in the coop? They have just been sitting on the counter.

Thank you. The barn has all kinds of places that she can enter. I have thought about trying to somehow pluck her pretty little nest that she made in the hayloft and put it in the Coop to see if she will be drawn to her own scent. Any ideas on that? Unfortunately the ducks did not express an...
