I love it!!!!My girl Dottie got it right yesterday...she laid a perfect little egg in the nesting box!!!! Hooray, the first real egg!
A couple of the other girls are squatting in a more "serious" way, so I think we'll be seeing more eggs soon. When all 15 start laying consistently it will seem like an avalanche compared to this breathless waiting for a single (tiny!) egg to appear!
This video is precious! The red sex link was like...."I'll take that thank you!" Too hysterical. The Easter egger is colored so neat... she looked like she had stockings on... so neat! What is she crossed with?My girls in one nest this morning...Red is the red sexlink - head of the pecking order. Blue is my Easter egger - last one the pecking order. Lol
I thought pine was not good for chickens?jtbass, I use pine shavings on the floor of the coop, but I put hay in the nesting boxes after reading that the shavings stick to the bloom on the eggs. I wonder if the girls would be more comfortable if I replaced the hay with shavings, though...something to consider. Thanks for spurring an idea!
I did put nonstick squishy shelf liner in the bottom of the nesting boxes under the hay to provide a little additional cushion in hopes of preventing cracked eggs.
