Hello everybody!
I am sure this has been posted many times on here, but I need advice how to get my hens to lay in their laying boxes. they just started laying within the last week, but we have found eggs around the yard, they are free rangers. Do I need to keep them in their coop for a day or two to coax them into laying in their boxes? We have 14 chickens, Five being roosters that we will have to cull. But for now I think they would go nuts all cooped up, yet if that is what I need to do...any advice from you experts?
