Egg Laying

[eggbert75]

In the morning I let my chickens out to free range and i lock them in at night......but when i let them out i loose eggs as they dont lay my normal 12....or i guess if they do they lay them out and about.....I want to let them free range but i guess i run the chance of loosing eggs ? anyways to stop or correct this !??!

You could keep them locked up until later in the day, or let them out once you've collected all you expect for the day.

I have actually heard about some people that have put nesting boxes in the area their birds free range. It worked for them, might work for you.
