My chicken......

[Brian461]

My chicken is now laying her eggs outside but they are under the chicken coop. She was laying them in the coop but today i found them outside on the ground. Why did she stop going to the coop to lay them?

Too hot? Dont know. Could be lots of things, I guess.

Keep her in the coop until she lays her egg... then let her out... perhaps it'll become a routine.

My hens just started laying again after being broody and raising some chicks. At first I saw them trying to lay outside the coop so I picked them up and locked them in the coop. They were mad as fire about it and cussed me out royally but they laid in there and are going back each day now.
I know they will lay each day between 12 and 3 so that is when I locked them up. I understand not everyone has this option.
