Our chickens could start laying soon, and they've started ranging out in our very forested, unkempt, past-the-fence back yard. If they lay their eggs out there, we'll never find them because we'd need to bushwhack almost an entire acre, and there's no way we'll do that every day.
So.
Do we need to make a place inside the fenced area where it's overt that we'd prefer they lay or are they just going to drop them where they want? As far as I've seen, they don't roost/rest out back; they do that in our fenced yard of about 1/3 of an acre, which is easily accessible. Then again, I can't always see them when they're out back, so they might be lounging out there, too.
Should we do something, or just wait and see?
