OK the title is somewhat misleading. I am interested in anyones advice on keeping bedding in my nesting boxes. I have about a 1.5" lip but the girls just kick it right out as soon as I fill it up. They seem to lay fine without the bedding material but I have had a few cracked eggs from being layed right on the wooden boxes. Is there some kind of straw mats, padded material etc. that can be placed in the boxes?
Question #2 I am having issues with one of the girls laying in random places. I really want to freerange but if I do for more than 1 day in a row my Wynndotte will start laying ggs everywhere (garden path, bedding bag etc) again any help would be great thanks. I have done the "stay in the coop for a few days in a row" but not effective and the run is really muddy/miserable this time of year. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
