In the Brooder
Hi everyonne. I am in desperate need of any help at all. I have three hens, in my flock of 7 chickens and I am getting rid of 3 of my roosters tomorrow, but the dominant hen of my flock keeps laying eggs from her perch. She used to play her eggs in the nesting box but not anymore, as of a week ago she start laying them from the perch while my other two hen lay in the nesting box. It cannot be a bullying problem because she is the bully. She is the top hen in the chicken coop, so I have no idea why she keeps laying eggs from her perch. Please help me, I have a germ phobia and I am to afraid to use the cracked eggs even though they are clean and the membrane isn't torn. The fact that the egg drops in the coop floor and then cracks in the dirty coop floor just makes mme throw them away every time
