Hi all. My name is Laura.
We got our first chicks this past April. Yesterday was our first egg -woohoo
It’s nice to have a community to ask questions and share.
Right now the 2 chickens have dropped their eggs in the coop. One on the shelf and other on the coop floor.
Anyone know how long it takes before they lay in the nest boxes?

Welcome!
Congratulations on your first egg.
Do you have fake eggs in the nest boxes to show them where to go?

Hi Laura, welcome to BYC. Fake eggs in the nest boxes will usually solve the problem.

Golf balls will work too.

Hi Laura, the fake eggs that others mentioned will probably do the trick. Are you planning on a larger coop for the flock soon?
