I have a bird that lays from the perch...I didn't know this until I put a poop board in.

I thought one was laying in the corner of the coop under the perch, then I installed the poop board and sure enough next morning a smashed egg.

Sounds like someone might be doing this as well and the shell and yolk are being eaten???

I ended up removing the poop board and putting extra pine shavings to cushion the fall. At least I had the egg the next day, then one day I caught the bird sitting up there starting to lay and I gently put her in the next box and she has laid there ever since.
