My EE is 11 months old, and the lowest one in the pecking order. For the past three days now, she has stopped using the nest boxes, she just drops her egg close to the run gate!
We have 6 11 month olds, and our nest box is just a long one, no dividers. if we added dividers, the lenght should be enough for 3 nest boxes.
Has anybody ever run into this problem? I wonder if I should go ahead and install dividers - maybe she's being scared out of the nest box by whoever is there and then can't wait any longer and just drops the egg?
