How long she been laying?

Maybe a week. I’ve found two of her eggs outside covered in dirt so I couldn’t really tell how they looked.

Awesome...they should darken up.

Any tips on getting them to lay where they’re supposed to? My bc olive and now this girl both seem to lay wherever they want.

I put golf balls in nest boxes. But the pullets generally follow the bigs protocol.

I’ll give that a try. Those two also fly out of the coop all the time so they might just keep doing whatever they want.

One of our CCL's hadnt figured out the nest box yet. First egg I found in the run, second on floor of the coop. There's going to be a team meeting soon if this keeps up.
