My 18 week old Egyptian Fayoumis, who we have determined on this forum is a girl, has not produced any eggs that I know of yet..... Although they seem to make nests in the straw under their hen house, I have never seen any of my birds in the nesting box. The roof to the hen house allows natural light in, should it be dark ?
I keep the three of them in the coop until just past noon, then they have the run of the back-yard, not a big yard, have not seen them nesting out there. If they were eating the eggs, would I see the remnants of shells ?
