Is this lash egg?

Hi @Chickchicknewbie - here's an in-depth article on the subject: What is A Lash Egg? All You Need To Know & More

Thank you, that was a very interesting article.

Have you tried different materials and colours for the nest eggs?

I have used different fakes to encourage a broody, but they're not too fussed. They just like the one box. I'm not too worried right now, as if one of them goes broody, they'll eventually use the other boxes ... I hope lol.

My broody girl took over the favourite box and the others just made her scoot across until theyvwere done and she'd just hop back in the same spot

Yeah, my girls did that last year, but they have bigger and better boxes this year, so I can hope. Bit of a challenge to collect the fresh eggs from that box this year, so hopefully they'll lay in the front boxes where it's easier for me to reach. Or my sister will have to go without eggs for a while!
