Crowing
Well we got our first egg! It was laid by sweet little Buttercup the 18 week old mixed breed bantam, on top of the food container of all places! We think maybe it’s because our nest boxes were really low to the ground so I quickly built a new raised one this morning. Also it would make sense she laid it there because she doesn’t know where it’s supposed to go! Do you have any tips/tricks or ideas on how to encourage laying in the nest box? That said, it was only her first egg so we’ll just have to see where she lays next time! Its so tiny compared to the large grocery store eggs, haha. It’s a very egg-citing moment, here are some pictures:
