Our chickens have 6 nest boxes that the 10 of them share. But for a little while now we have noticed quite a reduction in egg laying. I was concerned for the chickens health. Well when I was cleaning out their stall I noticed that all under the straw (hopefully we will be switching to pine bedding soon.) they are hiding their eggs. What does this mean?
What does this mean? That they think it's a safe place to lay their eggs without them getting eaten or stolen by predators, and that is close as they can get to the ground.
