how do you.....

make a chicken lay its eggs in a nest box??? I've seen people put gold balls and fake things in there, how does that help?

i have a set of gold balls , but these arent going anywhere near a chicken .......



...... ok im sorry thats wrong lol . . . . .

. . . . im going to stick with its a visual thing for the hen , dont quote im no expert on hens but i think thats it

sorry i meant GOLF balls

i understand now , well look at it like this


When you first saw a toilet and you knew thats where you had to go , to go , you knew you dont go else where .......

...... When chickens see the golf ball they think its a egg and it gets them used to thinking " oh thats where i need to lay my eggs "

...... Hope that help ..... Im kinda tired so i did what i can with little sleep hehe

The decoy eggs say "look this is a safe place for a nest, some other eggs were here and are safe, mine will be too". Chickens aren't exactly individualists.
