I have a New Hampshire Red which is about 4 months old. This morning, I find her scratching at wooden barked area, seemingly making a nest. I have a coop with a hen box for them to lay eggs. So far the other hens who have started laying eggs have laid their eggs in the hen box. I quickly covered the nesting area in hopes to discourage her from building a nest there.
If she was indeed building a nest, how do I discourage her from laying out in the open and start laying eggs where I want her to?
Thanks!
PS. And as a City Boy, raising chickens is way cool.
