Bad bad hen! - UPDATE - Progres....kinda

[doubleatraining]

Ok the Bad Hen has been locked up for 3 days. NO EGGS.

Today is such a nice day I let them out in the yard around noon. Went out a few minutes ago....EGG in the driveway.

At least this egg wasn't broken.....

Would you possibly have enough space for a spare tire in your run or coop , to use as a nesting box?

 

[weeders n feeders]

Try some fake eggs or golf balls in the nest boxes. If that doesn't then as someone else suggested put a nest box near where she is laying. Then if she starts using it slowly move closer to where you want it.
Mine are in egg prison half the day now too cause I have two that want to hide them any and every where. Even with the fake eggs. But usually a few days of prison and then I can let them out in the early morning again for a few weeks then I have to start rehab again.

I don't have room for a tired.....

There are golf balls in the nesting boxes now....

I will put one under my truck and hope she lays there. UGH

She is beautiful. Bad Hen and all.

Well, she is very pretty

Maybe she just wants to express her individuality

I'm not helping, I know

Sounds like she is laying every 3rd day. Which means she needs to be cooped for atleast a week to get the idea.
