If a new-to-laying hen is laying in places other than a nesting box (resulting in broken eggs), will she figure it out eventually?
Also, I have noticed that when one of my novice egg layers comes into laying, one of the 'experienced' hens guide her into the nesting box the first couple of times; as if to say, "here is where we lay our eggs". Has anyone else noticed this midwifing behavior in their hens?
