The four hens I got in July are just starting to lay... I think just two so far... but they are laying from their roost bar! A few eggs have been found on the wire mesh intact, right under the bar, but most are cracked!! I put dish towels in under the bar to cushion the drop but they keep kicking the towels into the run below. I just started supplementing calcium. I've had two nesting boxes up in the coop with ceramic decoy eggs, but they ignore them completely. I've never seen them in the boxes. They came with the coop and seem a little small, do I need larger ones? Is there any way to discourage the hens from laying while roosting? I want to eat my delicious eggs not throw them away!!
