I've got three, eight week old BOs who will be moving out of the brooder next week. Their Henhouse is roughly 4x4x4 with two nest boxes inside. It's kind of tight in there but should be fine for my small flock.
Is there any reason to discourage them from getting comfy in the shaving filled nests? Pine shavings are nearly all they know, and I imagine that the nests will be a sight more accomodating then a drafty roost.
There is no way that they will be laying for a few months, but is there some behavior that I should try to train from the get go?
Thanks,
Robi
