Hello!!!
My chickens have started to produce eggs. Three so far. They were small, and one was not formed all the way. I'm told that is to be expected when young chickens first start to lay. Yes?
All three of the eggs were left in the grass of the "pen" outside of the hen house.
Although I am wonderfully delighted about the eggs I can't help but be worried that they didn't use the nesting box.
I have the Kuhl roll out nesting boxes.
I know they go in there because the dust is disturbed frequently.
I'm wondering if I need to put some hay or sawdust in the boxes to make them more appealing to them. Because honestly I don't want them leaving the eggs in their yard.
I figured the first few eggs are probably surprises to them and they will get the hang of things as they get older. Right????
Does any one else have experience with the roll out boxes??
