i am at my wits end. i have 30 hens in a 10 x 40 foot house. they also have a half acre of yard to peck around in. i have 7 nest boxes spread out over the barn for them. their boxes consist of a 20 gal rubbermaid, perch in the front, under their poop table/roost.
they ALL lay in one box. i have tried changing the location, shape, bedding........ even removed their favorite box. of course you can appreciate that i have more broken eggs than good ones. anyone have a suggestion as to get these hens to use another box?? thanks
