    Egg laying

    how will my chickens know when to build a nest and where to lay their eggs? Will they still use the nest if I toutch it? Do they make one nest and always use that one or use many different ones? Are dead pineneedles, twigs and leafs ok to make their nest? How often do they lay?

    Why do some hens not lay eggs?

    We had a black hen who tragically died at two years old, but she had never laid an egg. And we have another white hen who's near three years old and has never laid an egg. Do certain chickens not lay eggs or not want to?
