Ok, so who is going to work on hen training methods for this and then share the tried and true method for teaching this to all our hens?

I mean so far mine is laying eggs in the middle of the sleep area so meh.

I need to figure out which baby this is. Either way I am hoping for a pullet bc those colors are pretty!

If only we could use egg cartons…

Put a carton in a nesting box and cover it up with nesting material.

Pretty feathers! I see some pointed feathers but I can't really tell if I'm just imagining that, can we get a face picture?

These girls have actual nesting boxes, one day I saw thay they all lined up and had two to three chickens in each of the two boxes, so I added this crate to catch the overflow hens. Since the day I added the crate, I haven't had a single egg in the nesting boxes, so they apparently enjoy traffic jams and fighting for nesting space.

But here's a simple nesting box idea.

Yall. I need some help and advice. Kithara wandered back. I thought it would be fine putting him, (I am thinking she is a he), back into the run would be fine. He was only gone like 4 days. Well they immediately all started chasing and pecking him. I immediately took him out of there and brought him inside for a nice warm meal and some water. His feet are scratched up but no other injuries. Currently he is enjoying some scratch and oatmeal mix. He has water, and had some celery.

How do I integrate him back into the fold? Neighbors obviously don't care bc I have seen him wandering for 2 days but it was on their property. He came back on mine sooooooooo
