My hen is laying outside!

[Annalyse]

Yesterday I found an egg outside in the chickens run. I didn't know who laid it so I went on with the day. Well, Today I saw my Plymouth just laid an egg outside. My other Plymouth and Starlight green egger is laying in the boxes. Why is my 1 plymouth laying outside? There young. 4-5 months I would say.

New layers = many hiccups. Try locking them in the coop until they’ve laid, for a few weeks, this should encourage them to seek out the nest boxes

Thank you I will try it. I got them fake eggs so I might put those in there so she knows that she needs to lay there.
