Ok I use the pine shavings and I have one hen that scratches all the shavings out of all 6 boxes! beside the shavings what can I use so she doesn't do this any more and the eggs are layed micely and not broken also.
THANKS!
 
Straw is recommended in the nests. Also, you can try putting up a board of some sort that covers part of the entry to the nest so bedding doesn't as easily fall out.
 
I have used straw in th epast but it doesn't break down as wellas shavings do. I have also thouht about covering up the fronts more and the backs of the boxes. I can get the eggs from the back also. I'll post a few pix soon. Thanks
