The last two days it has been hot here. I live in VERY Northwest Oregon. It has been 80+ Deg for two days and I think that has stimulated my gals to lay. So far today I have gotten three brown eggs (I think from my Barred's) and one green (from my EE). It's still early and my Salmon Favorall hasn't tried yet. I hope she makes it to the box today.

What a great Idea! That sounds fun. lol

My SF seems so confused today. It's like she is trying to find a place to hide. I don't want her to be one of those chickens that I need to search for her eggs everyday. Should I lock her in one of the nest boxes?

It's like she couldn't find a spot that is comfortable. she was running from one spot to another and scratching around, But nothing seems to work for her. I have fake eggs in the nest boxes and I have put her in them at least ten times. I locked her in them and she seems to be happier. I checked on her a few times and she seems to have calmed down. Then after 16 min of timeout she laid an egg!!!!
