Hi guys,
I am a new chicken owner. The girls have been with me for almost a month. I am planing on breeding for show ( I got them from a breeder) They are from last year.
So, now after the moving adjustment and molting, one has finally decited, she is laying eggs. A second one had layed one but not since.
My problem is the one laying regularly is doing it in the middle of the night while she is on the perch. I do have a nest and a wooden egg to attract them to it. I think maybe she would use the nest if she'd be laying during day time. Is she herself eventually adjusting the timing? Or can I do something to encourage daytime laying?
Thanks!!
