EEs making nests other places??

Only one of my EE hens lay outside of the box. I have to go on a hunt daily to find her egg.

 

My EE lays her egg quite nicely in a nest box. Dunno what to tell ya.

 

One of our two just recently started laying directly *under* the nest box. It's better than anywhere else, but still annoying.
Try putting some wooden eggs or golf balls in the nest(s). That will show them where to lay.
Also, when you find them in the other nest move them to the box. When they're on the box, don't make a fuss, don't check under them, just let them lay and come back later.

 

My hens are always finding imaginative places to lay their eggs. If it's a dry and easily accessible place I just leave their nest there. I will put a few fake eggs in it so that they will continue to lay there. That way I at least know where to look for their eggs.

 

I have 2 EE's and they both used to lay in the nest box. Then we started getting only 1 egg. About a month ago we were weedeating some overgrowth and found about 10 blue eggs. She can fly out of the pen. I should probly clip her wings a bit.
