I have 5 nest boxes and all my hens (16 hens) but 2 think they need to lay in one. The mornings are hectic to say the least because my hens run around cackling wanting the use of this one box and now I think I have a Buff Orp trying to go broody in it. I of course will have my DH take her out as I don't want her sitting at this time. I have no room for another broody. I already have one sitting on 4 eggs and one with 3 babies in quarentine.
How do I get the hens to use another box? I feel so bad for the ones that want to lay and have to wait their turn because they refuse to use another box. They are all the same and I have fake eggs in all of them.
