My lone hold out finally laid an egg at almost 30 weeks, but our Barred Rock "Oven Roasted Chicken aka Rosy" is laying in the coop not the nest box. She digs herself a little hole in the shavings and lays there. Any way to break her of the habit? I've been trying to break them of sleeping in the nest box, to no avail, and now this. We need a sit down meeting with these girls.
Oh and one other thing, I read that some people wash their eggs right before they use them. Should I be doing this? Do I use warm water? I've just been taking them and putting them right in the fridge, although if they're nasty I wash them and THEN put them in the fridge. There's so many ways to do it, but what's THE RIGHT WAY??!!
