Laying eggs Help!

[mswendeu]

My Zelda keeps laying eggs on top of the greenhouse. I have plenty of boxes out here to choose from and yet she continuer to lay them up there results aren't so good. How can I change her thinking to the box. I have placed yesterday saved egg in there so she would know and yet she still keeps going up there and laying them.

My wife's suggestions:

1. Clip the hen's wings.

2. Lock the hen in the coop until she has laid.

3. Make the greenhouse top unattractive to the hen-something that makes noise; windchimes bells, etc. Maybe you can come up with something you know this hen does not like.

I thought if I moved the nest box choices inside the greenhouse and opened it up ( it's usually closed) that would help. Well she didn't lay her egg ontop this time she laid it in where the other chicken lays. That's progress.


Thank you for giving your wife's suggestions I appreciate them.

Glad it's working out.

I wonder how long this will last?
