Hi! So, I know my chickens won't start laying yet, but we have 1 Egyptian Fayoumi and I've read that they start laying pretty early. Our chickens are 3 months old and currently the nest boxes are blocked off. Should I open them soon, and do I have to teach them to go in there to lay? This is our first time raising chickens and our new coop came with these pokey mat things in the nest boxes. What are they and do we need them?
Thanks for all the help!
