I was thinking of putting a golf ball in there but it was far from the nesting box so if they are eaten it wouldn't it be in the nesting box?
I read a golf ball will show them no reward from pecking at the eggs in the nest?
Ok what the?
I just went to get Hazels egg for the day and there wasn't 1. There was egg white at the entrance of the roost. No shell or yolk. Have they eaten it? It was so far away from the nesting box? Or is this something that can happen?
I have created a new thread 2.0
Hopefully this will help with the notifications.

Update on the flock roosting for the night:
I still have to help my chicks up the ramp to go to roost at night. They can all use the ramp but not seem to put themselves to bed.
But on the bright side JD (Black Australorp Roo) isn't pecking me when im trying to get them.
