[eastend]

Hi, can any one help.

we have just got 4 point of lay chouks, one of them is laying eggs but they are on the coop floor and not the nest box

we have wood shavings on the floor and the nest box, should we put straw in the nest box? any other idea's

I'm new to this, but I've read that putting a egg-like object, like a golf ball or something, in the nest will encourage them to lay there. Also, confining the hen to the nest box until she lays might teach her where to lay.
