Hi everyone!
So is it horrible if my girls sleep in a nesting box? I have four hens, but two insist on sleeping in a nesting box at night! Before I knew better I bought one of those pre-fab coops and they got used to sleeping in that coops nesting box. Mind you, I have a bigger coop with roosts that two other girls sleep in BUT my original ladies refuse. They actually don’t even lay in that nesting box, they lay in a different one so I’m not worried about dirty eggs. I just didn’t know if it was an absolute horrible thing if my girls co tinier to sleep there and not roost. There is NO room for a roost in that tiny coop! Thoughts?
